Ford is releasing a new version of its BlueCruise hands-free driving software, version 1.4, which it claims will let you keep your hands off the wheel twice as long. In fact, the company tells us it can now run an average of five times longer compared to last year’s version 1.2 and double that of 1.3, which started rolling out more recently. The company doesn’t specify exactly how long, on average, a vehicle can be driven using BlueCruise.
