On: Analysts put GM and Waymo far ahead in driverless car race

I'm surprised and a little disappointed that Ford hasn't done more. They have the EV version of the Focus but AFAIK it's only sold in California.

Edit: 2018MY Focus Electric is a limited production model sold in select states (CA/CT/MA/MD/ME/NJ/NY/OR/RI/VT) at Ford EV Certified Dealers

Yes, they have been very tepid (only selling in CARB type states) and actually the quality of their EVs is subpar -- no active battery temperature management, low range.

They're making noises about improving, but then they go and do the opposite.

Especially considering how quick they hopped on the hybrid concept, making hybrid versions of quite a few of their cars and SUVs, quite early on.
