Sandy Munro checks out Ford's BlueCruise

[trutolife27]

Well, call me old fashioned but I'm just going by what my eyes are seeing in this video and what the Ford rep who is the CHIEF ENGINEER OF DRIVER ASSIST TECHNOLOGIES is saying in said video lol
Hope it gets better but this was...not great.

PR always PR only so much the better response would be why are we showing it if not ready. Nothing wrong with being old fashion.

I mean we thought the cyber truck was gonna have amazing crazy windows but a ball smashed it i think. Also where in Cali is the places to exchange the batteries that Elon said would be out by now or the other things tesla promised or launched half baked. hmmmm

You should probably stop pretending you own a Mach E and go back to your Tesla-stan forum.

I would have to agree. Seems to be someone who would be kinda lost wanting what tesla is and buying a mache. But you know some people like playing games.

I mean, we can talk about how shitty Tesla can be (which is a lot) or just how my excitement for BlueCruise sort of went down after seeing this video. I'm definitely going to pay the additional $500 to use it once Early Access allows it because I'm a tech-head but not taking a soft curve like that is bad.

Would GM's super cruise handle those corners on it's own?

 

[TheSteelRider]

not all of the blue cruise is the same in each test so far. Certain ones have made those curves no problem. Again somehow people know this. Blue cruise is a work in progress and not the same software in each one. When blue cruise does come out or to be more point on when the beta testing starts it won't have all the features active. Some people have already tested it for a while.

Thank you for talking us back from the ledge! Then, this is simply a rinse and repeat of Ford's PR department, like when they gave a whole bunch of journalist pre-production Mach E's with issues and only gave them the bottom line trims Oh Ford, please learn how to put your best foot forward.

Sorry I do own Mach E RWD ER. I am not a Tesla fan otherwise I already got the Tesla instead of waiting for Mach E. I have been defending Mach E against Tesla everywhere. Not doubt it is a great car and I do want it to be successful. However, in totay's market, you are competing with Tesla unfortunately. I don't want my Mach E to be a 2-3 years car then it becomes irrelevant and forgotten by market. If Ford wants to become the leader for the EV revolution, software side they must and have to catch up. There is no choice. This is the same issue all the legacy OEMs are facing. I just hope Ford realizes this and do something quick going forward. The slow bug fixes and feature rollouts so far does't look positive to me.

stange none of the comments are at you just saying. And sir I don't blame you. It won't be perfect to start just like the mache at the start won't be the same as a mache 2 years from now. it will be better over time like a good whiskey. Just saying it will come in waves the same as teslas did. It had hiccups also when it first launched.

You literally said the video is wrong and that it will take those curves when we saw (and heard) it does not. Maybe the first shipped version will take those curves but it's underwhelming.

No Question it is a bit disappointing that it can not handle what looks to be a simple curve in the highway. But give them time. The Blue Oval is definitely actively engaged and hope it only improves with OTA's.

Don't let these guys bully you. You're making some tough-love statements that some stans on this forum don't want to hear.

define slow because the massive bugs to start when tesla launched were way worse. U might want to go back and research. The correct way to say this is. This does not meet "YOU're" way of how fast and how you want it to work. That sir is your opinion and fair to have. But when saying one vs the other then it's not and facts come into play. Have a wonderful day.

or maybe someone has taken those curves already in blue cruise just fine. Again it's a work in progress and it won't be perfect when it launches in beta. If that is not good enough for you that is fine. But you have not driven it and can go off only what you saw and I understand. Some people again know it can do those curves.

Just like the guy who used summons in his tesla and it crashed. Telsa said oh it's in beta your the dummy who tried it lol. We are not paying to fix it. Beta is beta my freind.

Definitely disappointed if the system can't handle curves... It's the same as what we have now then except on straightaways you don't need your hands on the wheel. I don't even think that's worth $600 and seems inferior to default Autopilot.

I am curious, though, if the 130,000 miles claimed is reduced because of curves in the road ?

Again, going off this video and what the head of the program says in it, seems like curves may not be BlueCruise's friend right now. Obviously it will improve but the head of the program didn't give us much hope in that video, like saying "oh that's weird" or "that is fixed in the newest version". He was just like, "Oh yeah that happens on curves".

We'll see once Early Access BlueCruise launches, I guess! We need someone to go to that exact curve lol

already know someone like I said it can do it, but certain mache are more updated than others. Again going off the video i can understand your options and others. I'm just saying it's in beta guys that's not the finished product. How long was the are we getting dividers or not. how long was the what happen to the white steering wheel. Just saying nothing is final yet. Hope everyone can wrap their heads around that and understand.

The covid shot will not stop covid. But it will lessen the effect it has on you and others. Nothing is perfect in this world, not even a perfect 10 woman.
