BLUE CRUISE REVIEW ON A ROAD TRIP - HANDS FREE DRIVING IN OUR MACH-E!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides a comprehensive first look at Ford's BlueCruise system, enabled via an over-the-air update on their Mustang Mach-E. The system is praised for its smooth operation on highways, including handling curves and lane changes effectively. A key takeaway is the system's ability to revert to Intelligent Cruise Control when BlueCruise disengages, rather than abruptly stopping. The reviewer highlights the eye-tracking feature's effectiveness, even with sunglasses, and notes its utility in reducing driver fatigue on long road trips. While generally positive, the system requires hands on the wheel for sharper curves or speeds above 80 mph. The reviewer also touches on the system's performance variations between 'Unbridled' and 'Whisper' modes, recommending the latter for smoother traffic driving. The potential subscription cost is raised as a point of consideration for future owners.
