Active driving and its limitations
The name of Ford's newest hands-off driving feature is "Active Drive Assist." This feature integrates a camera within the car. The camera focuses on the road ahead and acts as the eyes of the car. The Mustang Mach-E will then navigate its way through the streets, using the camera as a guide.
This feature was inspired by the autopilot feature of Tesla's vehicles. Ford, however, did not fully follow all the principles of Tesla's autopilot feature. This is because Ford wants to establish more possible subfeatures into the Active Drive Assist feature of theirs.
There are limitations, however, on the Active Drive Assist feature of Ford. Owners of the Mustang Mach-E must only travel within a range of 100,000 miles of officially registered roads and highways within U.S. and Canadian borders.
When this is established, people are then able to take their hands off from the car wheel while the Mustang Mach-E cruises around the streets.
Hau Thati-Tang, the head of product development and purchasing for Ford, has stated that this Active Drive Assist feature gives the Mustang Mach-E owners the ability to relax and be confident when driving.
The Ford vehicle will also be incorporating the Road Edge Detection subfeature into the staying in lane feature. This feature informs the driver if the car is crossing a lane line.
