The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will conduct a hearing on March 31 to ascertain the causes of two fatal crashes involving Ford Motor's BlueCruise advanced driver assistance system. In 2024, two Ford Mustang Mach-Es in partial automation mode rear-ended stationary vehicles in San Antonio and Philadelphia.

In both cases, no braking or steering by drivers or the system was recorded before impact. The NTSB and NHTSA have been investigating BlueCruise since 2025 due to concerns over system limitations. Ford claims BlueCruise is used in 17 countries and has been equipped in 2.5 million vehicles, emphasizing its adherence to industry safety standards.
