The Ford Mustang Mach-E Is Already Known on the Streets and Avenues of Brazil, Gaining Notoriety for Its Performance and Innovative Design. But Now Ford Raises the Stakes with the Introduction of a New System Called Blue Cruise, Promising to Revolutionize the Driving Experience on Highways.
For those who aren’t aware, this innovative driver assistance system is available through a monthly subscription. The idea here is that the Blue Cruise allows the car to self-drive on specific roads, which is completely legal. It’s such a high-tech feature that it almost feels like something out of a science fiction movie.
The Blue Cruise works in the “hands-off, eyes-on” mode, meaning the driver doesn’t have to hold the wheel but must keep their eyes on the road. And before you ask, yes, the system keeps an eye on you too. A set of infrared cameras analyzes where your eyes are looking. If you get distracted, the system gives you a nudge, as if to say: “Hey, pay attention to the road!”
Hands-Free for Long Trips
If you’re someone who doesn’t like holding the wheel on a long trip, especially during holidays when the roads get busier than a mall on Christmas Eve, Blue Cruise can be a lifesaver. The system can follow the flow of traffic, obeying traffic laws and maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles.

However, it is worth noting that the system only activates on highways with physical barriers separating the lanes. So if you’re thinking about using Blue Cruise to navigate city traffic, you might want to reconsider.
Another highlight is the flexibility of the monthly service subscription. If you don’t use it, you don’t pay. You can choose to use Blue Cruise only in the months when you know you’ll be taking longer trips, like during vacations, for instance.
Ford and the Future of Autonomous Driving
In practice, those who have used the system say that after an initial hesitation, the experience is quite smooth and even relaxing. The system keeps the car centered in the lane and makes turns smoothly, without hesitation. The only caveat is regarding the vehicle’s acceleration, which can sometimes be a bit more… enthusiastic than expected.
The Blue Cruise technology is a significant step toward the future of autonomous driving. It’s clear that we are still far from fully autonomous cars, but the Ford Mustang Mach-E with Blue Cruise already gives a taste of what’s to come.
