Feds investigate Ford’s hands-free driving tech
(CNN)– Federal Safety Regulators are investigating Ford’s hand-free driver assistance system.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is looking into Bluecruise after two fatal crashes involving stationary vehicles.
Specifically, they are looking at the systems in the 2021 to 2024 Ford Mustang Mach E models.
Bluecruise is only available on certain roads and uses a camera-based monitoring system to determine driver attentiveness.
The NHTSA investigation comes just days after Federal Safety Regulators announced it closed its investigation into Tesla’s autopilot system.
