djc Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Uber is testing a self-driving Ford Fusion hybrid in Pittsburgh: https://newsroom.uber.com/us-pennsylvania/new-wheels/ (It will have a human on board.) An advantage of the hybrid may be the electric steering and computer controlled brakes, and accelerator pedal that is just a computer input, that may be relatively easy to adapt the vehicle to driving by a computer. The C-max might make a better taxi - easier access, shorter. In any case since the C-max shares its drive system with the Fusion hybrid, it should be just as suitable for retro-fitted self-driving system.

scottwood2 Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 This seems to be coming on very fast, cars, semi trucks etc. Faster ramp up than I thought. Did not know 1.3 million people die every year in car accidents. Thx for posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
