USING FORD BLUECRUISE - HANDS FREE DRIVING!

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth review of Ford's BlueCruise 1.3 driver assistance system, tested over a 1,000-mile road trip and in daily use. The reviewer highlights BlueCruise's capabilities in various conditions, including rain, mountain roads, traffic, and nighttime driving. Key improvements in version 1.3, such as enhanced lane changes, in-lane repositioning for comfort, and better resilience in non-Blue Zone areas, are praised. While generally effective and praised for making driving less stressful, especially in stop-and-go traffic, the system occasionally requires manual intervention, particularly in construction zones or when encountering unexpected speed limit changes. The reviewer notes that while BlueCruise excels on highways, its performance in stop-and-go traffic can sometimes feel abrupt, though it remains a valuable tool for reducing driver fatigue. The system's ability to feel natural and less intrusive is a significant positive, making it a highly recommended feature for compatible Ford vehicles.
