Eyes off the road? Ford is developing automated tech that will let drivers doze off
Fox News
Ford's new Latitude AI division is aimed at developing advanced driver assist systems that will one day allow drivers to sleep behind the wheel on the highway.
Ford already offers the hands-free BlueCruise system, which uses cameras, radar, GPS and highly accurate maps that allow it to control a car within a highway lane by itself as long as the driver is watching the road and ready to take over in case of emergency. Facial recognition technology ensures that they are. Gary Gastelu is Fox News Digital's automotive editor.
Latitude AI's goal is to further develop the system so that drivers not only will be able to stop paying attention, but even take a nap sometimes.
