Ford BlueCruise 1.2 Adds New Features And Improves Existing System via insideevs.com
Ford's BlueCruise is a hands-free highway driving assist system. It relies on highway mapping and cannot operate in hands-free mode on roads that aren't pre-mapped. Currently, Ford has over 100,000 miles of pre-mapped highways in the US and is adding more miles of highways for the"Hands-Free Blue Zone" every month.
In addition to improving the existing system, BlueCruise 1.2 adds three new features. The first, and most noticeable, is Lane Change Assist. We found Lane Change Assist to work extremely well. The lane changes were smooth and mimicked how a human would execute a lane change. If the system detects that there isn't enough room to safely execute the lane change it will cancel the request and display not possible after about ten seconds.
This feature will most likely be the least used of the new additions to BlueCruise, but can make for a safer hands-free driving experience at highway speeds. We've noticed with BlueCruise 1.0 that the system will often notify the driver they need to engage the steering wheel when traveling on highways and a curve in the road is approaching.
