NHTSA opens investigation into Ford’s BlueCruise after software linked to fatal crash


Like Tesla, Ford’s BlueCruise is now also under investigation.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened an official investigation into Ford’s BlueCruise advanced driver-assistance software after it’s been linked to multiple fatalities while in use. The official investigation into the crashes involving BlueCruise comes only days after a new NHTSA probe was opened to determine if Tesla’s Autopilot driver-assistant software recall did enough to increase driver engagement and protect lives. At the same time, the NHTSA also determined Tesla’s Autopilot and its “Full Self-Driving” feature that promises the vehicles can achieve autonomous driving under supervision aren’t keeping drivers engaged enough.
