Ford gets 'self-driving' car approved in Denmark

Ford can now say that Denmark is on the list of the 15 European countries where the brand has been approved for the use of the self-regulating Bluecruise system.

Ford has approved the advanced cruise control 'BlueCruise' in 15 European countries, including Denmark.

The car brand says so in a press release .

This means that Danish owners of the Mustang Mach-E can now in reality let go of the steering wheel and let the car 'drive itself'. However, BlueCruise is not entirely self-sufficient. Far from actually.

Concretely, this is a system at the so-called level two out of five within self-cleaning technology. This means that the driver can let go of the steering wheel, but must still keep his eyes and thus his attention firmly directed towards the traffic.

Ford states that with the new approval, BlueCruise can be activated on a total of 133,000 kilometers of European motorways, and that it also works from motorway speeds down to 0 km/h.

However, motorists who intend to use BlueCruise must accept that everything is monitored all the time. A camera in the Mustang Mach-E simply keeps an eye on what they're doing.

However, Ford is not making BlueCruise free for anyone at all. At home, all Mustang Mach-E owners must cough up 200 kroner a month to have the advanced cruise control activated.

However, Ford is neither the first nor the last with this kind of 'self-feeding' technology. In the US, Mercedes has even promised to take the blame for accidents with self-driving cars.

On the other hand, the German brand can move up even further when it comes to the levels of self-cleaning properties. Read more about it here .

Back at Ford on level two, things like: acceleration, braking, the lane and the distance to the anchoring car can now be controlled by themselves. In other words, a little more than an ordinary adaptive cruise control can usually do today.

In Denmark, it is also the person behind the wheel who is responsible if Bluecruise causes accidents in traffic.
