Can we just admit hands-free driving is for texting
It was three minutes into using Ford’s new BlueCruise “handsfree” technology that I reached for my phone to check my messages. I wasn’t using my hands to steer the F-150 Lightning that I’d been lent for my week in Colorado, so what was I supposed to do with them?
Disclaimers: 1) I am not against the idea of autonomous vehicles. I think there are several use cases where they would come in handy and improve humanity. 2) My “test” is in no way scientific. I drove different vehicles on different roads, in different states in order to develop a general picture of the capability of the software, not to develop a controlled testing environment. This is my opinion, based on my experience and the written expertise of others in the space.
Unless you compare it to a human, and then it would be a total non-event and a very basic skill so simple it’s not even on the driving test. To its credit, Tesla’s Autopilot seems to be better at navigating these types of corners on highways, although I did try to activate it on a windy canyon road once. The system did allow me to engage, though it almost crashed immediately disengaging at the entrance to the first tight bend.
