Federal investigations are underway following fatal crashes in Texas and Philadelphia involving Ford Mustang Mach Es. The crashes are linked to the use of Ford's partially automated driving systems, specifically the BlueCruise technology, which allows for hands-free driving on pre-mapped highways. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is looking into these incidents, with one crash already confirmed to have involved the BlueCruise system. The driver of an electric Ford SUV in Texas was reported to have been using the automated system before the fatal collision.
