Federal safety regulators have opened an investigation into Ford's hands-free driver-assistance system, BlueCruise, after it was found to be active during two recent crashes that killed multiple people. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) said on Monday that it has confirmed BlueCruise was active in both crashes. The investigation into the two crashes ratchets up the scrutiny on BlueCruise, which is currently available on the Mustang Mach-E, and certain Ford F-150s (including the Lightning), Explorers and Expeditions.
