Ford Is Working On A Feature That Will Let Drivers Nap
Imagine being able to drive and nap at the same time. Seems impossible, right? Good news for you, Ford is working on a feature that would let drivers take naps behind the wheel. In an interview with Fox News, Jim Farley, the Ford CEO said that they’re not working on autonomous cars anymore. Instead, they’re focusing on “eyes off the road” features.
The idea of being able to nap, text, or eat a three-course meal while your car drives you to your destination seems risky. If you have seen shows like Amazon Prime’s Upload, then you may be familiar with this concept. You can view an eerily similar self-driving moment of its first episode here.
The auto company launched Latitude A.I. which develops semi-autonomous advanced driver assistance systems. The development of this system will allow drivers to not only stop paying attention while their car is in motion but even take a nap.
“We feel like that is such a big unlock for customers,” said Ford CEO Farley to Fox News. He even mentioned that the company just passed 50 million miles of hands-free driving with their Blue Cruise system and the customer demand for low-stress driving highway systems is high.
Ford currently offers a hands-free system called BlueCruise which uses cameras, radar, GPS, and maps that allow it to control a car within a highway lane by itself. However, the driver has to watch the road and be alert just in case of an emergency.
Keep in mind that the new feature is in development. Ford still has to prove that the tech is safe enough before hitting the roads. Though Farley said that the company isn’t too far off from it happening, there’s no timeline for completion.
Would this new feature from Ford change your life?

Kansas City Chiefs Win Super Bowl LVII - Sideline Photos
The Kansas City Chiefs are the Super Bowl LVII champions. The game took place in Glendale, Arizona at the State Farm Stadium on Sunday (Feb. 12). The Chiefs were victorious over the Philadelphia Eagles winning 38 to 35. Here’s some photos taken from sideline photographer Christian Petersen.
The Eagles led for most of the game until the fourth quarter when Patrick Mahomes had his second touchdown pass of the game. Going into the fourth quarter, the Chiefs led 28-27. The Chiefs extended the lead with a 65-yard punt return by Kadarius Toney. They then took the lead, 35-27. Once the Eagles gained back possession of the ball, Jalen Hurts made his third rushing touchdown of the night and he later scored a two-point conversion to tie the game. After that, Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker kicked a field goal with just 11 seconds left on the clock, with the final score ending in 38-35.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes received the Super Bowl 57 MVP after leading his team to victory. This trophy goes along with the league MVP trophy he had already won at the end of the season.
Take a look at some photos from the Super Bowl LVII below:
