Fatal Crashes Raise Questions About Ford's Automated Driving System

Ford's "Blue Cruise" automated driving system was in use before fatal Texas crash involving 2022 Ford Mustang Mach E SUV
Crash occurred when Mach E struck stopped 1999 Honda CR-V on Interstate 10 in San Antonio, killing 56-year-old CR-V driver
Another fatal crash involving Mach E occurred in March in Philadelphia when it struck stopped Hyundai Elantra on Interstate 95
Both crashes happened at night and neither the drivers nor the automated systems were able to prevent the collisions
Ford says its driving systems do not replace human drivers, who must be ready to take control at any time
