A particular auto manufacturer* has stated that if you happen to own certain of their 2016 models that have adaptive cruise control, auto parking, blind spot warning, and lane keeping , etc. you can go to your dealer and, for a fee, have your vehicle upgraded to semi-autonomous driving!
I have an Explorer Limited with every option available, (including the 302A pkg), and would gladly pay $$$ for that feature. The hardware is there. A few years ago Ford was significantly ahead of the competition with the latest high tech features. The competition has now caught up and, in some cases, surpassed FMC. Think Tesla, BMW, Mercedes, and others. Look at the beautiful new Lincoln Navigator, Expedition, and Continental. One would think semi-autonomous assist would have shown up in those modes at least as an option. No such luck. Pathetic. BTW, I have the Explorer and my wife has a Lincoln MKT. Unless I see Ford shaping up soon there will not be a Ford in our future. Sad. Really sad. I would love to remain in the Ford family !!!
Ford brass, are you listening ???

* BTW, that manufacturer is Volvo.
