What is Ford BlueCruise?
Ford BlueCruise is a cutting-edge hands-free driving technology that allows you to drive on select highways without having your hands on the steering wheel. Using a combination of adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and sophisticated driver monitoring systems, BlueCruise enables your Ford vehicle to maintain its lane position and a safe following distance behind detected vehicles.
BlueCruise operates on specific sections of divided highways that Ford has carefully mapped and approved for its safe use. These "Hands-Free Blue Zones" span over 130,000 miles across the United States and Canada. When driving in a Hands-Free Blue Zone, BlueCruise communicates that hands-free driving is available and allows you to remove your hands from the wheel while the system safely guides your vehicle.
Advanced Safety Features
Safety is paramount with Ford BlueCruise technology. The system utilizes an advanced driver-facing camera to monitor eye gaze and head position, ensuring the driver remains attentive to the road ahead. Visual prompts on the instrument cluster notify you when to return your hands to the wheel and resume control, such as when approaching a sharp curve or inclement weather is detected.
BlueCruise also features Lane Change Assist, which allows you to tap to activate the turn signal, and your vehicle will automatically change lanes when it's safe to do so. This technology consistently monitors the road ahead and will disengage if it senses or encounters a scenario it cannot confidently navigate and promptly return full driving control to the driver.
