How does BlueCruise work on the Ford Explorer?
BlueCruise is an available hands-free highway driving assistance feature on the Ford Explorer that helps the driver accelerate, brake, and steer on pre-qualified sections of divided highways called Blue Zones. A driver-facing camera monitors eye gaze and head position to confirm the driver remains attentive. The new Automatic Lane Change feature allows BlueCruise to detect slower traffic ahead, initiate a lane change, accelerate to pass, and move the Explorer back into the original lane - all without the driver touching the wheel or turn signal. BlueCruise is available on ST-Line and Tremor and standard on Platinum and ST.
