Ford BlueCruise software update package includes a series of new features and enhancements such as Mustang Mach-E games, EV charging and driving upgrades as well as F-150 productivity features. "Ford Power-Up technology is the gift that keeps giving. Ford BlueCruise software updates are a powerful example of this," Farley added.
BlueCruise caps the first year of Ford Power-Up software updates, demonstrating the transformative capability to improve many computer-controlled vehicle systems to regularly make vehicles better. The automaker is using anonymized data insights customers voluntarily share to make the technology even better by refining visuals, sensing and steering for more natural performance.
Ford BlueCruise customers more than doubled mileage from 4.5 million miles last month to 10.6 million miles at present. This is another example of Ford bringing innovations to the masses. As per recent data, customers are driving hands-free on highways most between Dallas and Houston, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas, and Cape Canaveral and Ft Lauderdale in the US.
