Where it works, how it works

As with General Motors' Super Cruise, Ford has specific
highways - more than 100,000 miles worth - of what it
calls Hands-Free Blue Zones in the U.S. and Canada. These
are sections of divided highways that the company has
pre-qualified as compatible with the technology.
If not driving on a BlueCruise-certified highway, the
system nonetheless can provide lane-centering driver assistance. The automaker did not detail how it qualified the
initial Blue Zone highways - or what happens if there is
construction or other changes to the road. But a spokesperson said more pre-qualified miles of highway will also
be added to the list of Blue Zones in the future.
The technology effectively operates as a feature added
to adaptive cruise control (ACC). To activate BlueCruise, the
driver first needs to engage ACC, then press the steering-wheel
icon on the steering wheel itself. If driving in a Blue Zone, the
system will engage, informing the driver that it's active with
blue lights and text notifications in the gauge cluster.
To test BlueCruise, Ford engineers put a half-million
development miles (804,670 km) into the technology,
then took 10 equipped vehicles on the " Mother of All
Road Trips, " a series of long-distance drives that added up
to more than 110,000 miles (177,000 km) across 37 states
and five provinces in the U.S. and Canada in November
and December 2020. ■
