Ford driver filmed callously putting his own life and the lives of others at risk

A Ford F-450 driver posted a video of himself laying across the rear seat of his truck, leaving no one in the driver's seat. No driver assistance system available to the public is good enough to accomplish the feat safely. Making matters worse, the F-450 is not even sold with Ford 's best driver assistance system, BlueCruise, meaning that this driver is relying entirely on adaptive cruiser control and lane keep assist.

A pair of bags are set on the left spoke of the steering wheel, likely to trick the lane-centering system into believing that a driver's hand is on the wheel. The cameraman, filming from the passenger's seat, says, This is probably the most nerve-racking shit I've ever done. And so it should be, because it's a colossally dangerous thing to do, putting the lives of both of the Ford's occupants at risk, as well as those of other people on the highway.
