UK Autodrive is a British government-sponsored event designed to showcase the breakthroughs carmakers and suppliers based in Britain are making on the road to fully autonomous driving. Jaguar Land Rover is using the event to give its first public demonstration of cars capable of level 4 autonomy – that's one step away from being able to operate without any human interaction.
And while that technology is still a decade away from a production reality, Ford's simple connected vehicle feature could potentially go live and save lives tomorrow.
