Ford is Testing Self-Driving Cars in Miami
If you live in Miami, Florida, your next pizza delivery from Domino’s could come from a self-driving car.
The American automaker has announced that Miami is the first proving ground for Ford’s self-driving service, teaming up with Domino’s and Postmates. The pilot programs will gather research and data that will be used to design Ford’s purpose-built, self-driving vehicle that it plans to launch in 2021. The Domino’s pilot program is already up and running in Miami, and Ford is currently finalizing plans to launch another program with Postmates in March.
