I received a message from the FordPass app 1 hour ago saying "Your BlueCruise feature is ready". This is for my GTPE that I just picked up this evening.
Hopefully the OTAs come soon, I remember someone tweeted that it would be late summer for cars from the factory and early fall for OTAs.

Someone asked if that meant people who have had their cars already would have to wait long, they answered "yes"... There was much grumbling and gnashing of teeth.

My Mach-E Awd Ext Canada. The screen was acting very different Aug 25th. When I looked around I found A Button marked BC at the top right corner of the vehicle assist screen. When pushed it said about BlueCruise. It was late so figured I would try it out or checked into it more in the morning. Next day it was gone and the screen was acting much more normal but not completely as it was. Anyone had this on their Mach-E

On a Facebook group I'm in it appears newly delivered GTs with the Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0 package are coming with BlueCruise activated.

Very surprising to see that. I mean, I guess that must mean release is imminent??

I don't expect that lawsuit will influence delivery and activation. If anything Ford may have to pay some money and change the name. However, I doubt GM will prevail. GM doesn't have a leg to stand on here as cruise control is decades old and first patented with cruise in the name by AMC and RCA.
Agreed. Ford is still allowed to release the software as from what we can tell there's been no formal injunction restricting them from doing so.

As a manager of software developers I can say with absolute certainty that if a specific date is forced upon the developers then the final result will absolutely have bugs in it, some of them could be catastrophic. In any event there will be bugs even in the released code, that's a given, but I want them to take the time to eliminate the bugs that kill people.

I’ll just note that @Ford Motor Company said Q3. They did not say what YEAR ?

at least someone has decent taste in music ?
Why a year? Why not the Super Bowl? When the 3rd quarter ends, we all go out and see if we have Blue Cruise enabled. ??
