When you purchase a Ford, you’ll be amazed at all the built-in help. Speaking of helping hands, what about a co-pilot? We’re not talking about that annoying backseat driver. Ford provides you with your right-hand driving companion, Ford Co-Pilot360.

Ford Co-Pilot360 includes a variety of features to keep you safe on the road. With more and more drivers keeping their eyes on their phones instead of on the road, Ford has put in some safeguards to help keep you safe from destination to destination.

Let’s take a look at some of the features Ford has included to keep you safe. A very recent addition to the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite is BlueCruise. Hands-free driving is not a thing of the future anymore. Ford made it a reality.

BlueCruise allows you the ability to drive hands-free thanks to a camera monitoring the driver. This camera is positioned on the driver to make sure their eyes are on the road at all times. Just because it’s hands-free doesn’t mean you can close your eyes.

Another unique feature added to Ford Co-Pilot360 is Blind Spot Information System or BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert. Tired of looking over your shoulder or asking someone to see if you can get over? We found a solution for you.

BLIS is aptly named to make your driving blissful instead of stressful. Thanks to its ability to monitor cars around you on the road, it alerts you to when a vehicle is in your blind spot. The Cross-Traffic Alert sounds to let you know when drivers are behind you when backing out of driveways or parking spots.

Do people keep telling you to stay in your lane? Well, this next feature literally keeps you in your lane. The Lane-Keeping System scans your Ford’s spot on the road and can determine if you’re driving between the lines. If you get out of line, it’ll let you know.

What’s even better is that if you drift several times, it will recommend you take a break. A coffee cup icon will appear and help you recognize you’re drifting. Maybe it’s late at night, and you’re tired. Pull over and take a break so you can continue down the road safely to your destination.
