Driving Hands-Free! BMW & Ford Highway Assistant Test

Driving hands-free on the highway and enjoying a much more relaxed journey — that’s the promise of BMW and Ford’s new highway assistants. Up to speeds of 130 km/h, drivers can take their hands off the steering wheel for long stretches. The car steers autonomously. Both systems use advanced sensors and cameras to support drivers on the highway. But how well does it really work? And how safe does it feel?
