Hands On Driving

"Hands on driving" is a driving style only recommended for drivers who “are completely focused”, “have both hands on the wheel”, “are alert to other vehicles, surrounding traffic, and road conditions” and “are ready to take control at any time”. The goal of this feature is to reduce stress and increase safety when driving.

Ford Blue Cruise

Ford BlueCruise is a driver-assist feature (a "hands-free highway driving feature") available on pre-approved Hands-Free Blue Zones, which are sections of split highways. Safe driving is “not” substituted by it. Driver-assist features are an addition to driving; they do not take the place of a driver's judgement, attention, or requirement for vehicle control.

Thermal Imaging Camera

A thermal imaging camera (TIC) is a device that uses infrared (IR) radiation to build a picture, much like a regular camera does with visible light. Every object emits a certain amount of infrared radiation depending on its temperature; the hotter the object, greater the amount of infrared radiation it emits. The variation in these emissions is the foundation of thermal imaging.
