Fine, then make it work on all divided highways.Why? Safety.
BC is driver ASSISTANCE not self driving. You are still responsible for driving the vehicle.
Having your hands off of the steering wheel in a more unpredictable area causes higher reaction times when there are situations that require manual input.
A divided highway by contrast is a much more controlled environment (no traffic lights, no pedestrians, no cross traffic, it's all one way traffic in typically wider lanes than surface streets).
In reality the only difference between lane keep and hands free is the use of the eye nanny vs the hand nanny. The car is doing the same stuff.
Other manufacturers don’t seem to have this same safety concern. It’s likely another example of Ford being a little too conservative.
