Ford BlueCruise is an advanced driver-assistance system that allows for hands-free driving on certain highways. It uses cameras and sensors to monitor the vehicle's surroundings, ensuring safe operation while the driver can relax their hands off the steering wheel. This technology is designed for use on pre-mapped, compatible roads known as Blue Zones. Drivers must remain attentive and ready to take control if necessary, as the system is not fully autonomous and requires the driver to be engaged with the driving task.
