This week we discuss BlueCruise technology, Ford's new hands-free active driver assist feature available on the Mustang Mach-E. We share our experiences with the system— both on our test track and public roads— we'll talk about how it differs from other systems like GM's Super Cruise and Tesla's Autopilot. We also debate how useful these systems are and how driver monitoring plays a crucial role in ensuring safety behind the wheel. Plus, we answer a question about child seats for a growing family.
