Ford Hires 550 Former Argo.ai Engineers, Creates Latitude.ai
> Latitude AI – a Ford subsidiary – is developing new automated driving technology with an initial focus on a hands-free, eyes-off driver assist system for next-generation Ford vehiclesNot that every company should follow Tesla's approach, but I think it would be great if other companies don't get too focused on their production systems being eyes-off, hands-off. I'd much prefer more people having access to these systems _sooner_ with monitoring to ensure that they're paying attention.Tesla Autopilot, Hyundai's lane keep, etc. are such fantastic systems when you commute in high traffic areas and/or you have a long commute - even if you have to monitor the thing.
