  “Ford has announced it is partnering with Apple to use Apple Maps in the company's new self-driving system. Apple Maps will be integrated directly into Ford's upcoming Universal Electric Vehicle (UEV) Platform. Development of Ford's next-generation self-driving technology is led by Latitude AI, Ford's wholly owned autonomy subsidiary. Latitude is developing the Ford Large Driving Model, which supports a spectrum of self-driving capabilities derived from millions of miles of real-world driving data. Ford and Latitude design both the hardware and software.”
