FORD BLUECRUISE - HANDS FREE MAKES ROAD TRIPS A BREEZE!

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth review of Ford's BlueCruise hands-free driving system after extensive use on a 1,000+ mile road trip. The reviewer highlights BlueCruise's effectiveness on straight highway stretches and its ability to handle curves, traffic, and lane changes with ease, particularly praising the smooth, quiet operation and the automatic lane change feature (though not yet released). The system's eye-monitoring technology, even through sunglasses, is noted as a key safety feature, with clear visual and audible warnings before requiring driver intervention. While BlueCruise excels on pre-mapped roads, the reviewer also demonstrates the 'hands-on' intelligent cruise control's functionality on any road with visible lane lines, adapting to traffic and speed limits. The reviewer expresses significant satisfaction with the system, finding it makes long drives more comfortable and enjoyable, and notes ongoing software improvements. A minor drawback mentioned is the system's behavior in heavy rain, where the reviewer chose to disengage it due to personal comfort levels.
