Ford will make autonomous vehicles without steering wheels by 2021

Ford will mass-produce autonomous vehicles without steering wheels by 2021, Ford chief executive Mark Fields said today at the Ford Research and Innovation Center in Palo Alto, California.
An investment in Velodyne LiDAR for autonomous vehicle sensors and the acquisition of Israel-based machine learning company SAIPS were also announced.
The cars will be made specifically for ridehailing or ridesharing, Fields said, and will potentially have more impact than Ford’s assembly line.
