GM and Ford Settle Their ‘BlueCruise’ Lawsuit
General Motors and Ford have agreed to settle a legal battle over the latter’s use of the name “BlueCruise” to market its hands-free driving technology.
In a notice filed in court late on Friday, the two automakers said they are in the “process of settling all claims and counterclaims at issue.” A judge agreed to dismiss the suit on condition the automakers finalize a settlement within 60 days. No details were released.
A Ford spokesman said the settlement has not been finalized but said the No. 2 U.S. automaker will “continue to use the BlueCruise name, as we do today for F-150 and Mustang Mach-E and next for the 2022 Expedition.”
GM said both automakers “have resolved the case and related proceedings amicably. At this time, we have no further comment.”
