The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has initiated an investigation into two fatal crashes involving Ford’s Blue Cruise semi-autonomous driving system. These incidents, both occurring at night on freeways, involved Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles. The crashes, resulting in the tragic loss of three lives, prompted the agency to scrutinize the use of Blue Cruise prior to the accidents.

One collision took place in San Antonio, Texas, in February, claiming one life, while the other occurred in Philadelphia in March, resulting in two fatalities.
