NHTSA Opening Investigation into Ford Crashes Involving Blue Cruise Semi-Autonomous Driving System
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has initiated an investigation into two fatal crashes involving Ford’s Blue Cruise semi-autonomous driving system. These incidents, both occurring at night on freeways, involved Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles. The crashes, resulting in the tragic loss of three lives, prompted the agency to scrutinize the use of Blue Cruise prior to the accidents.
One collision took place in San Antonio, Texas, in February, claiming one life, while the other occurred in Philadelphia in March, resulting in two fatalities.
NHTSA’s inquiry aims to assess the performance of Blue Cruise in executing driving tasks, as well as evaluating its camera-based driver monitoring system. Ford has announced its collaboration with NHTSA to facilitate the investigation, demonstrating a commitment to addressing safety concerns and ensuring the integrity of its semi-autonomous driving technology.
