Ford will debut its own hands-free driving system with Mustang Mach-E

Ford is taking on Tesla with its own advanced driving system that'll debut with its first all-electric vehicle. 

Ford's Co-Pilot360 includes a hands-free driving experience called Active Drive Assist for more than 100,000 miles of highway throughout the U.S. and Canada.
