Ford BlueCruise & Lane Centering Assist Litigation
Ford markets BlueCruise and related driver-assistance features as highway-driving assistance technology that can manage steering and speed in certain conditions. When these systems fail—or when limitations are not adequately understood—the results can be catastrophic.
Public reporting has described federal scrutiny following deadly crashes and raised questions about stationary-vehicle detection and how driver-assistance behavior, warnings, and design decisions interact in real-world scenarios.
Key Questions We Investigate
- What was the system designed to do in the relevant scenario?
- How did it detect, classify, and respond to stationary or slow-moving vehicles?
- Were warnings timely, clear, and actionable?
- What role did software versioning and updates play?
- Do event logs, EDR data, and camera data align with the claimed system behavior?
Why These Cases Are Complex
- Sensor fusion (radar/camera) and object classification logic
- Human factors and driver-monitoring design
- Crash reconstruction and timing analysis
- Software thresholds and operational design decisions
- Warnings, takeover prompts, and reasonable expectations
Confidential consultations available.
We approach every matter with humility for the trust placed in us, mastery of the subject matter, and habitual overpreparation at every step.
