Ford Launches ‘Hands-Free’ Driving on Motorways

Ford introduces its latest “BlueCruise” technology, allowing hands-free driving on specific UK motorways. The Ford Mustang Mach-E comes equipped with this feature. It ensures enhanced convenience and safety for drivers.

How BlueCruise Technology Works?

BlueCruise enables the Ford Mustang Mach-E to take control of steering, acceleration, and braking, allowing drivers to focus on the road ahead. Cameras and sensors detect lane markings, speed signs, and other vehicles’ positions, ensuring a smooth journey with hands off the wheel.

Safety Measures in Place

A camera monitors the driver’s eyes to ensure alertness while using BlueCruise. Drivers must refrain from phone use, falling asleep, or distractions, as safety remains paramount despite assisted driving capabilities.

Availability and Pricing in the UK

Ford’s BlueCruise is currently available on designated “blue zones” motorways in the UK, covering about 6,000km from Dover to Scotland. These four-lane motorways with central dividers provide an ideal environment for hands-free driving.

With Ford’s BlueCruise technology, road travel becomes more convenient and safe, ushering in a new era of driving experiences for motorists. As technology continues to advance, drivers can expect further enhancements in the future.
