“Ford will introduce eyes-off (Level 3) driving technology in 2028, upgrading BlueCruise from hands-free to eyes-off and debuting it on a roughly $30,000 all-electric vehicle built on Ford's Universal EV platform: "Autonomy shouldn't be a premium feature."”

Deadline is end of 2028; the first Universal EV platform vehicle, a midsize electric pickup, is slated for 2027 with eyes-off following in 2028.
