Our outlook for the future has been given a boost by the introduction of Ford BlueCruise, which is the newest innovation from Ford in Advanced Driver Assistance technology. Owners of exclusive Ford models can now access a new era of transportation and be the pioneers to try out L2 hands-free driving in specified 'Blue Zones.'
Realise the benefits of hands-free driving with the new Ford BlueCruise, an enhanced cruise-control upgrade available with selected Ford models for the best autonomous vehicle experience. From intelligent cruise control to lane centring and speed assist, this cutting-edge system combines safety and convenience like never before.
BlueCruise combines hands-free driving, adaptive cruise control, lane centring, speed assist, and stop-and-go features. Drivers can engage hands-free mode on ‘Blue Zone’ stretches of motorways while the system utilises cameras, sensors, and mapping data for precise control. It ensures a safer, more convenient driving experience with features like maintaining distance, keeping the vehicle centred, adhering to speed limits, and navigating congested traffic.
Ford BlueCruise is part of the Ford Co-Pilot360™ Active 2.0 Prep Package, prioritising safety, and convenience for Ford Mustang Mach-E owners entering compatible Blue Zones.
Ford BlueCruise is a brand-new innovative feature that is assisting in the development of the new breed of Electric Mustang vehicles – and soon to be more in the Ford collection!
Ford BlueCruise is an advanced driver-assistance technology exclusively available on the Ford Mustang Mach-E, allowing you to be ‘Hands-off, Eyes-on.’ It is available exclusively for those who own a 2023 or 2024 Mustang Mach-E as a Ford hands-free feature. If you own this exceptional electric vehicle, you'll have the opportunity to experience the unparalleled convenience and safety features offered by this advanced self-driving technology. Ford BlueCruise represents a significant leap forward in automotive technology when it comes to hands-free cars, providing Ford Mustang Mach-E owners with a seamless and enhanced driving experience.
Ford BlueCruise will roll out to other vehicles in the Ford line-up soon.
It’s where you can activate these advanced Ford features.
A Blue Zone refers to the prequalified sections of divided motorway where Ford BlueCruise can be engaged.
Yes, it’s legal – over 95% of the UK’s motorways are designated Ford Blue Zones!
Ford BlueCruise is designed to be used on prequalified sections of motorways, Blue Zones, across the United Kingdom. These motorways are carefully mapped and tested by Ford to ensure optimal performance and safety.
When you activate Ford BlueCruise, the system will use GPS technology and onboard mapping data to determine if you are in a Blue Zone. If you are within the designated areas, the system will notify you, and you can safely engage hands-free driving mode.
With Ford BlueCruise, you can engage hands-free driving on prequalified ‘Blue Zone’ sections of divided highways. The system utilises advanced cameras, sensors and mapping data to provide an enhanced driving experience.
Ford BlueCruise utilises this feature to help you maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, adjusting your speed accordingly. It can even come to a complete stop when traffic demands it, making your journey smoother and more stress-free.
Ford BlueCruise uses advanced technology to keep your vehicle centred in its lane, even around curves and bends. This ensures a more confident and comfortable driving experience, especially during long trips.
The Speed Assist feature adjusts your vehicle's speed to adhere to posted speed limits, helping you stay within legal boundaries and reducing the risk of exceeding the legal speed limit. Speed assist will also monitor the speed of the vehicle ahead of you, keeping you a safe speed/distance behind.
In congested traffic situations, Ford BlueCruise can automatically stop and restart your vehicle, allowing for a more relaxed, efficient, and effortless commute.
Ford Blue Zones are specified on over 95% of the country's motorways, and once you enter these zones, you can activate Ford BlueCruise. Your vehicle will be automatically updated with the latest Blue Zone routes once the updates are enabled and completed.
For your reassurance, Ford has conducted extensive testing of Ford BlueCruise technology covering a distance of over 100,000 miles and has also consulted with the authorities. Before taking control of the vehicle, Ford BlueCruise uses the driver-facing camera located in the instrument cluster to confirm that you are focusing on the road ahead.
By integrating Speed Sign Recognition with Adaptive Cruise Control, your vehicle's speed will be automatically adjusted to match the speed limit detected in the zone. As an illustration, if you transition from a 70 mph zone to a 40 mph zone, your vehicle will smoothly decelerate to 40 mph. Once activated, Ford BlueCruise uses our intelligent Lane Centring technology to sustain steering control within the lane markings.
Ford BlueCruise provides enhanced safety by autonomously managing vehicle speed and lane centring on motorways, reducing driver fatigue and the risk of accidents. This hands-free driving technology offers unparalleled convenience, simplifying long travel with seamless acceleration and control.
By alleviating the stress of long journeys, Ford BlueCruise enhances driver comfort and enjoyment, promoting a more relaxed self-driving experience. Additionally, its optimised driving patterns contribute to improved fuel efficiency, making it a more environmentally friendly choice for eco-conscious drivers.
In summary, Ford BlueCruise revolutionises long hours of driving with its safety features and convenience – making it a valuable addition to the modern Mustang Mach-E!
