Ford Autonomous Vehicles CEO Sherif Marakby in the blog post said Ford will try to distribute its self-driving car testing equally over the eight wards that make up the district. The rollout comes in advance of offering self-driving car rides on a commercial basis, which Ford plans to start in 2021.

"The advent of self-driving vehicles promises a chance to make it more affordable and easier for people to get to jobs by filling gaps in access to public transportation, new ways to deliver food and other products, and more," Marakby said. "It also means change  --  and how we prepare for that change will greatly impact people and their communities."
