Lincoln ActiveGlide Allows for Hands-Free Driving

Life has grown increasingly difficult for many people and simple tasks like operating a motor vehicle seem to deplete whatever energy levels they might possess. One luxury car manufacturer has responded with a solution that prevails so innovative and technologically advanced; it might need to be seen to be believed. Lincoln ActiveGlide Technology allows for hands-free driving and allows the vehicle’s pilot to sit back and enjoy the ride in the same fashion as the other passengers. Not only is the future bright, but it is accommodating and automatic. 

Origination

Lincoln ActiveGlide Technology allows for hands-free driving and because it is such an exciting piece of automotive news, everyone inquiring about a Lincoln seeks it. Rooted in the Co-Pilot360 2.0 package, the technology can grace about all new Lincolns. It, however, only comes standard on two selections. It seems only fitting that such a technological advancement as automated driving should accompany the absolute best in Lincoln's choices. As a result, ActiveGlide comes standard on Lincoln’s flagship luxury SUV, the Navigator, in the Reserve and Black Label trims. Luxury never looked better, and engineering has never seen such advancement in design. 

Lincoln ActiveGlide Technology Allows for Hands-Free Driving: Operation

As highly advanced as ActiveGlide might be, it is user-friendly and easy to use. It harnesses the vehicle’s camera, radar, and driver-monitoring features to create a specific mapping system. Once the driver activates the system, ActiveGlide scans to ensure it is one of the many hands-free Blue Zones. When the conditions are accurate, the vehicle communicates that ActiveGlide has been enabled through a blue light illumination on the dash cluster. The system turns the table on the driver with a dash camera that measures attentiveness. The system is designed for convenience, not slumber. IF the driver drifts off and spares attention, ActiveGlide drifts off simultaneously and removes itself from power capability. Safety is always first in every Lincoln manufactured. 

Test Results Yield Confidence

Lincoln ActiveGlide Technology allows for hands-free driving and that statement can be made with robust confidence and assurance. Put to the test, ActiveGlide prevailed to mark its place forever in the realm of future driving technology. The rigorous testing included over 500,000 miles of driving. Two years ago, Lincoln put a fleet of ten vehicles on the road with ActiveGlide and racked up 110,000 miles of driving across North America. This allowed for a robust refinement of the technology and developed it into what is now available to the public. 

The Future of Futuristic Driving

Lincoln will continue to upgrade ActiveGlide with improvements to mapping software. While this will only further increase the excellent level of safety already provided, it will come at a price passed down to the driver. The price of $600 is expected to accompany a three-year service period for BlueCruise, and a subscription will be required afterward. Depending on the Lincoln model selected, the hardware could run anywhere from $995 to $2600 USD.
