Ford BlueCruise: Better Than Super Cruise?
How well does Ford’s new hands-free driving aid actually work? We just put it to the test and it functions as advertised, with a couple caveats.

BlueCruise is Ford's latest and greatest advanced driver-assistance feature. This technology, which is available on select vehicles, enables hands-free motoring on certain sections of divided highway. I put this Super Cruise imitator to the test on a nearly 700-mile round-trip drive to Northern Michigan and the results are positive -- with a couple caveats, of course.
BlueCruise basics
But first things first, let's cover what BlueCruise is and what it is not. This technology is a hands-free driving aid that only works on approved, divided highways, so-called Blue Zones, of which there are about 130,000 miles of in North America. The system can accelerate, steer and stop the vehicle as traffic and road conditions dictate. In simple terms, think of this as a hands-free version of adaptive cruise control with lane centering.
Of course, BlueCruise does not make your vehicle fully autonomous. When engaged, you cannot take a nap, play Wordle, organize your collection of superhero action figures, anything like that. So, don't even think about whipping out your phone. There's a surprisingly sensitive driver-monitoring camera system that makes sure you're looking ahead and paying attention, because you have to intervene if the system needs it.
