Ford BlueCruise is a hands-free driving assist feature that is a more advanced cruise control. It uses a camera array mounted behind the steering wheel to ensure the driver is alert and paying attention to the road. While engaged, the driver is able to keep their hands off the steering wheel and feet off the pedals as the vehicle will keep itself centered in lane and adaptively follows other vehicles while driving down select highways and interstates. This feature is available on select vehicles and trim levels and requires a subscription to use.
