Ford have announced its Blue Cruise assisted-driving technology for the UK, taking over acceleration, braking, lane positioning, and steering from the driver.
This means that in an extreme case the car could come to a halt in the fast lane of a motorway as Blue Cruise does not steer from lane to lane!
Sounds like a disaster to me.

If the system detects that you are inattentive, warning messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster, followed by audio alerts, and brake activations, before the vehicle finally slows down while maintaining steering control.
