AI is teaching the Ford Mustang Mach-E how to drive
The 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E is equipped with the latest semi-autonomous BlueCruise highway driving system that can drive the car under certain circumstances better than the original version. The Ford Mustang Mach-E has been going to driving school. The electric SUV is one of the models that is available with Ford's BlueCruise semi-autonomous adaptive cruise control system. The feature is similar to GM's Super Cruise and allows drivers to take their hands off the wheel and feet off the pedals while the car controls its own speed and steers within a highway lane. Facial recognition technology makes sure that the drivers are keeping their eyes on the road and are ready to take back control in case of emergency.

Ford Mustang Mach-E to offer hands-off driving tech next year
Ford is pitching the battery-powered Mustang Mach-E as a driver's car worthy of the Mustang name, but it can do the steering for you, at least some of the time. The electric utility vehicle is set to be the first Ford that offers its new Active Drive Assist feature. It's an add-on to Ford's latest CoPilot360 2.0 driver-aid suite that uses cameras, radar and GPS to control the car as the driver removes their hands from the wheel. Ford says it works on over 100,000 miles of well-mapped, divided highways, while a facial-recognition system makes sure they keep their eyes on the road as it steers the vehicle within a lane and controls its speed without running into any cars ahead. It's similar to Cadillac's Super Cruise, which was launched in 2017 and can now be used on over 200,000 miles of highways.
