What is Ford BlueCruise?
Ford BlueCruise is a top-rated driver assist technology, receiving better marks than other similar systems such as Tesla’s Autopilot and GM’s SuperCruise. Built off of Adaptive Cruise Control, BlueCruise is designed to allow for hands-free highway driving, so you can get more enjoyment out of your long journey. As long as you’re in a Hands-Free Blue Zone — which consists of 130,000 miles, or 97%, of controlled access highways around the US and Canada — you can utilize this exceptional technology.
How To Use Ford BlueCruise
When you find yourself in a Blue Zone, you’ll see a prompt on your dashboard letting you know it’s okay to activate. Just tap the Adaptive Cruise Control button on your steering wheel and let BlueCruise take over. The system helps to handle steering, keep you centered in your lane, and regulate speed, all without touching the wheel. It can even check your surroundings and give more space to passing vehicles, or otherwise change lanes for you.
Of course, BlueCruise is an assistant and not a replacement, so you still need to keep your eyes on the road. If you stop looking ahead for too long, warning lights on the dashboard will appear and have you take back the wheel. You can also voluntarily take control of your vehicle again if necessary, without disengaging BlueCruise.
