Ford Next-Gen Autonomous Development Vehicle to Make CES Debut

With just a few days to go until the opening of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Ford is preparing to unveil its next generation autonomous development vehicle as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to having a fully autonomous ride-sharing vehicle ready by 2021.

From the outside, the Ford Fusion Hybrid (sold as the Mondeo in Australia, sans hybrid) may not look too different from a regular Fusion available in Ford dealers across the US right now, but look a little closer and you’ll notice an array of cameras, lasers, and radars designed to give the cars in the development fleet a 360 degree view of their surrounds.
