Cars,
BY K.C. COLWELL | CarAndDriver.Com Troy Warren for CNT #cars We try out Ford's new hands-free system, a competitor to GM's Super Cruise and Tesla's Autopilot. It's available on some 2022 F-150 and Mustang Mach-E models. Do not confuse it with Blue’s Clues, the children’s education show, or a booze cruise, the young adult adventure that’s happens when you combine a boat with tons of alcohol. No, this is BlueCriuse, Ford’s hands-free driving feature and answer to GM’s Super Cruise and Tesla’s Autopilot. It is available on some 2022 F-150s and Mustang Mach-Es. Long story short: it works as advertised. Ford isn’t promising commuters…
