"Regulators Investigate Fatal Crashes Involving Ford's BlueCruise Auto Driving System"

The NTSB has revealed that the Ford Mustang Mach-E involved in a fatal crash in San Antonio, Texas, had its BlueCruise active driving assistance system engaged at the time of the collision, resulting in the death of the other vehicle's driver. A similar incident involving a Mach-E and its active driving assistance system is also under investigation in Philadelphia. This scrutiny comes amid ongoing concerns about the safety and effectiveness of advanced driver assistance systems, with both Ford and Tesla facing increased regulatory scrutiny.

"NTSB Investigates Fatal Ford SUV Crash Involving Automated System"

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 vehicle showed that Ford’s “Blue Cruise” driver-assist system was in use prior to the crash, which is one of two recent fatal wrecks involving Ford Mustang Mach Es under investigation. The NTSB intends to issue safety recommendations to prevent similar crashes and has opened the probe due to continued interest in advanced driver assistance systems. The crashes raise concerns about the interaction between vehicle operators and new technology, and the NTSB has investigated multiple previous crashes involving partially automated driving systems.

"Testing Reveals Guardrails Inadequate for Heavy Electric Vehicles"

Recent testing at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln showed that heavy electric vehicles, such as the Rivian R1T and Tesla Model 3, can easily overpower standard steel guardrails, posing a challenge to existing road safety infrastructure. With the increasing weight of EVs due to massive battery packs, concerns arise about their impact on safety measures. The US Army is sponsoring research to address these issues, aiming to improve road safety infrastructure and protect military installations from potential security threats posed by heavy EVs.
