Ford is getting ready to roll out its first long-range battery-electric vehicle later this year, and the new Mustang Mach-E also will become the automaker’s first model to get the new, hands-free Active Drive Assist technology.
Active Drive Assist will permit motorists to take their hands off the wheel for an extended period while driving on 100,000 miles of U.S. limited-access roadways that have been mapped using high-resolution technology.
