Ford’s BlueCruise™: A New Era of Hands-Free Driving for Ottawa Drivers

Ford’s BlueCruise™ technology is a breakthrough for drivers seeking a protected, more efficient driving experience. This innovative hands-free driving system, available in specific Ford models, is designed to handle extended highway trips and daily commutes with ease. By integrating cutting-edge features with comprehensive safety measures, BlueCruise™ raises the bar for driver-assist technologies.

Explaining BlueCruise™ Technology

BlueCruise™ is Ford’s driver-assist technology, developed as part of the brand’s Co-Pilot360™ suite. It enables autonomous driving on specific pre-mapped highways known as Blue Zones, which span over 130,000 miles across North America. The system uses a combination of sensors, cameras, and GPS to control your vehicle’s speed, steering, and lane positioning, offering a effortless and comfortable driving experience.

How BlueCruise™ Operates

Mapping and Blue Zones BlueCruise™ operates exclusively in designated Blue Zones, where conditions have been confirmed for safe hands-free driving. As you enter a Blue Zone, your Ford vehicle will alert you that the system is available.

How BlueCruise™ Monitors Driver Attention A forward-facing camera tracks your attention to the road to ensure safety while using hands-free mode. If you appear unfocused, the system will send alerts and, if necessary, disengage until your focus is restored.

Sensor and Camera Integration BlueCruise™ uses a network of cameras and radar sensors to track the vehicle’s surroundings. These tools track lane markings, nearby vehicles, and road conditions to ensure the car centered and moving safely.

Adaptive Features Lane-Centering Assistance: Ensures your vehicle stays within the lane, even on curves. Adjusting Speed with BlueCruise™: Adjusts your speed to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.

Over-the-Air Updates: Ford enhances BlueCruise™ regularly through over-the-air updates, ensuring you always benefit.
