Under this sheet is a fully self-driving car that Ford hopes to launch in 2021.

First, a word on the self-driving vehicle itself. Ford first confirmed plans to launch such a model by 2021 a few years ago. It'll be a completely autonomous vehicle without traditional pedals or a steering wheel. But Ford doesn't plan to sell the vehicle to consumers; rather, it'll operate as a ride-hailing vehicle that people can summon to transport them from one place to another. Ford says the vehicle will be a hybrid, and that it'll benefit from Ford's experience with developing other taxis and commercial vehicles.
