Ford is releasing a new version of its BlueCruise hands-free driving software, version 1.4, which it claims will let you keep your hands off the wheel twice as long. In fact, the company tells us it can now run an average of five times longer compared to last year’s version 1.2 and double that of 1.3, which started rolling out more recently. The company doesn’t specify exactly how long, on average, a vehicle can be driven using BlueCruise.

The improvements come thanks to new “motion controller” software that Ford says keeps your BlueCruise-equipped vehicle better centered in its lane as well as improvements in handling different weather conditions, tight curves, narrow lanes, and reflections from the sun.
