Fox business news video driving the MME!



Is this the first video of a non-Ford-employee driving one??
Missed on a few items there. "You can pick one up at your dealer 'certainly by the end of the year'".

Maybe. If you're really lucky and reserved a year ago.

He also said "potentially by the end of this week" since it's "rolling out to dealerships right now".

I guess Ford didn't give them updates on the launch schedule, or they just didn't pay attention.

The event may have been before the OKTB date was slid back.

Or he was talking at length in a one cut video recording about a vehicle he just learned about the day before, without referring to notes or a script, and he made a few mistakes but did manage keep good control of the driving around cones that he happened to be doing at the same time.

Is this a big guy? His head looks tight to the ceiling.

The purple moving lights right above the center of steering wheel - I wonder what they are for? I was told that that piece of hardware is for hands free driving

Driver monitoring system for the Hands Free.
They're infrared (IR) LEDs used for face tracking for the hands free mode. You can't see them with your eyes, but digital cameras can detect IR light.

Much like the LEDs used in remote controls. If you check, you can actually see the IR LED turn on when you push a button with your phone camera.
