Cruise control increases speed by itself

It's been stated that the car uses both map data and camera.

I've seen that stated. I've driven almost 5,000 miles on the highway and not once have I noticed a speed change that wasn't tied to a sign. Yet it often catches a truck weigh station sign that says 45 despite the map knowing it's 70...

Mine has blue cruise. It is completely handsfree on my office drive.

Looks like Beta version, but does everything I expect it to do.

Interesting. You may be the only non-GT that has it then.

Just to be clear, yours looks like this with the “hands free” icon?

And not like this where it says “Bluecruise” but actually isn’t?

I am 100% certain that my Mustang Mach-E is occasionally using map data for the speed limit shown to me on my instrument cluster. And I'm certain that it tries to read speed limit signs optically, also.

As one easy example of map data, the vehicle clears out the displayed speed limit when I'm on a tall bridge ramp that transitions me from one freeway to a different one. Once I'm off the bridge and in one of the merge-or-exit lanes for the new freeway, the limit pops back onto the display. There are no speed signs present for at least another half mile.

Sure. What's important in @hybrid2bev's reply is the link he included, to an extremely reputable source of truth.

Have you had it raise the speed, or lower it, using that map speed when no sign is present?

There both "Blue Cruise" just not "hands free"....

I turned off Intelligent cruise control after I tried it the first time.

Ford's definition of BlueCruise is fairly specific:

https://media.ford.com/content/ford...road-trips-bluecruise-hands-free-driving.html

Ford will begin offering its new BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system ...

...

... BlueCruise adds a new level of convenience for drivers with vehicles equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360 Technology. The feature allows a driver to operate truly hands-free on prequalified sections of divided highways called Hands-Free Blue Zones. A driver-facing camera in the instrument cluster monitors eye gaze and head position to help ensure the driver’s eyes remain on the road.

 

[varuna90]

Yes. That is what I have. Handsfree on some of the freeways.

The link was to a post by a guy named Ron. Ron may indeed be reputable and as truthful as the day is long, but that is not apparent from a single linked forum post.

hybrid2bev's post was perfectly accurate. Something had been stated.

 

[lemmyslender]

I have this as well. Drove 2 hours without hands on, got beeped at for taking my eyes off the road. Select AWD w/ Comfort/Tech package, September build. Picked up 12/13.
