Introducing BlueCruise: hands-free highway driving
Apr 14, 2021
"Ford’s ‘mother of all road’ tests BlueCruise hands-free driving ahead of over-the-air push to F-150, Mustang Mach-E"Quote:
Introducing available BlueCruise on the mother of all road trips. We tested hands-free highway driving* in the real world: 62 days, 37 states, 5 Canadian provinces and 10 Ford vehicles. BlueCruise is coming to equipped 2021 F-150 and Mustang Mach-E vehicles** later this year.
*Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle. BlueCruise is a hands-free highway driving feature. Only remove hands from the steering wheel when in Hands-Free Blue Zone. Always watch the road and be prepared to resume control of the vehicle. It does not replace safe driving. See owner’s manual for details and limitations. The BlueCruise Prep Kit contains the hardware required for this feature. Software for the feature will be available for purchase at a later date. BlueCruise functionality expected third quarter of 2021. Separate payment for feature software required to activate full functionality at that time.
