If you own a 2021 F-150 or one of the 2021 Mustang Mach-E models equipped with the Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0 Prep Package, expect to get hands-free driving as an option later this year.
Ford has confirmed that an over-the-air update pushed to those vehicles will introduce its BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system. It follows development testing covering 500,000 miles with the technology, and what is known as the Mother of All Road Trips, which involved 10 test vehicles covering over 110,000 miles through 37 states and five Canadian provinces.
The BlueCruise limited roll out is further limited by the fact you can only use it on prequalified sections of divided highways called Hands-Free Blue Zones, of which there are currently only around 100,000 miles on North American roads. Even so, it s a big step forward in being able to legally drive without your hands on the wheel.
