"Fatal Texas Crash: Electric Ford SUV Driver Used Automated System, Say Investigators"

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reported that the driver of a Ford electric SUV involved in a fatal crash in Texas was using the company's partially automated driving system before the accident. Data from the 2022 Mustang Mach E SUV showed that Ford's “Blue Cruise” driver-assist system was in use ahead of the crash. This is one of two recent fatal wrecks involving Ford Mustang Mach Es under investigation by the NTSB and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The crashes have raised concerns about the use of partially automated driving systems and the interaction between vehicle operators and new technology.
