PALO ALTO, Calif. – Ford Motor Co. said Tuesday it plans to deploy a fully autonomous and driverless ride-hailing car by 2021.
CEO Mark Fields set the target at Ford’s Research and Innovation facility here, which will double its staff to 300 and grow its footprint by 150,000 square feet by year’s end to respond to the challenge.
“This is one example of how we’re thinking about expanding our business into mobility more broadly,” Fields told USA TODAY. “Taking the driver out of the equation improves the economics for us as well as consumers.”

So does that take out the equation of DUI's?

So the personal injury attorneys will sue Ford for the wrecks from their computer glitches. Deep pockets

Seems like a good idea at first, but it would also take at least half of the fun out of drinking and driving. No one ever says, "I feel like going for a drunk ride right now."

Ford is by far, the domestic leader in innovation and production.
Tesla gets the headlines, Ford makes money and moves iron.
GM lost their way in the early 2000s and has never recovered.

Even with autonomous vehicles, some kind of way there will still be constant wrecks on the Basin bridge.
