Ford's BlueCruise has now been approved for hands-free driving in the UK
Are you excited for a more relaxed driving experience?
Get ready to take a step towards the future of driving!
Ford's BlueCruise has been approved for hands-free driving in the UK, giving drivers the ability to take their hands off the wheel for long stretches without sacrificing safety.
While most autonomous cars today only function at level 2 autonomy, which still requires the driver to stay alert, the BlueCruise system takes us one step closer to truly self-driving cars.
Ford's BlueCruise may not be classified as the most advanced system on the market, but it's still pretty impressive. Similar to Tesla's Autopilot, it's rated as a level 2 system, which means drivers still need to stay alert and engaged. However, it's reassuring to know that these safeguards are in place to prevent accidents.
If you're looking for a more hands-free driving experience, Mercedes' Drive Pilot might be the system for you. This cutting-edge technology allows you to take your hands off the wheel entirely and even catch up on your favourite shows while on the go.
Although it hasn't been approved for use in the UK just yet, this groundbreaking technology is already transforming transportation in Germany and Nevada. However, in order to take advantage of this amazing innovation, you have to be within a designated geographic area and stick to specific speeds.
This cutting-edge solution is currently being tested in select "geo-fenced" areas and can only go so fast, so don't expect an Indy 500-worthy ride just yet. While it's not approved for use in the UK, those lucky enough to be located in Germany or Nevada can take advantage of this exciting innovation today.
Keep your eye on the horizon for more updates and rollouts of this game-changing transportation tech.
