Ford tech.

Our self driving system relies on the vehicle “seeing” the road markings through a forward facing camera. (Paint lines) Even just dirty or snow/salt covered roads cause the system to hibernate until it can see again. Even simply worn faded paint, like basically every road here has in Illinois, is also a no. Many customers complain how the system rarely works as advertised. This would require states to invest in maintaining their roadways.
