    Wow. If true, that’s exceptionally stupid.

    My car will turn ON the automated features if it suspects a crash is imminent. This has saved me previously, when the car in front of me rapidly changed lanes revealing a car waiting to turn left directly in front of me. My car SLAMMED its own brakes and managed to stop faster than I thought a car could stop, and I hadn’t been using the intelligent cruise control or anything.

    But I guess Ford is less worried about the software getting a possible bad rap since they’re, you know, a car company.
