I am excited to get it. I really like Blue Cruise but at times it bounces in the lane too much. I can deal with it but passanges start to feel sick. Looking forward to it.

With 4.3.5 starting to roll out, I suspect we are starting the PowerUp process to reach BC 1.3.

• BlueCruise 1.3: Building on the previous version with all of the features of BlueCruise 1.2, it will help you stay engaged in hands-free mode longer including around curves and narrow lanes.

Very cool. Can you work on toll gantries next?

That may be a hardware conflict issue. We've yet to heard the reason for that one.

That’s fantastic. Congrats to your hard working dev team(s). Can you share more of the release notes? Anxious to hear if it’ll help adjust the lane centering issue - I’ve had too many near misses with it hugging the right edge of the lane (or even slightly over) on the highway (since most drivers tend to hug the left edge, at least around here)

Our team at Ford is continuing to improve BlueCruise to make hands-free highway driving even better for you. We have a pleasant surprise for our Mustang Mach-E customers. We are delivering our latest software version of BlueCruise – BlueCruise 1.3 – even faster than anticipated.

• BlueCruise 1.2: Includes Lane Change Assist allowing you to change lanes by tapping the turn signal and once the path is clear and In-Lane Repositioning which helps keep the vehicle in its lane while subtly shifting position away from vehicles in adjacent lanes
• BlueCruise 1.3: Building on the previous version with all of the features of BlueCruise 1.2, it will help you stay engaged in hands-free mode longer including around curves and narrow lanes.

Mustang Mach-E customers with model years 2021-2023 equipped with BlueCruise can receive the update to BlueCruise 1.3 via a Ford Power-Up software update once it starts to roll out to vehicles later this summer. This means that vehicles with BlueCruise 1.0 and 1.2 will be updated to BlueCruise 1.3. Note, Ford Power-Up software updates are not deployed to all vehicles at the same time and this update will happen in waves.

To ensure you get this update and all the other latest and greatest software updates to your vehicle, make sure you:

1. Turn ON Automatic Software Updates – this keeps updates coming as they roll out
2. Set a recurring schedule –choose what is most convenient so you never miss a software update

For Mustang Mach-E customers who placed an order after May 2, 2023, or the vehicle was produced after June 30, 2023, your new electric pony will be delivered from the factory with BlueCruise 1.3.

Cheers to the next version of hands-free highway driving rolling out!

But wait a minute. I still need BlueCruise 1.2. Am I doing something wrong? I have auto-update turned on and a schedule set for updates every day at 4 AM.

BC 1.2 hasn't rolled out to anyone OTA. Looks like they'll be going right to 1.3.

MKBHD just posted talking about using BC 1.3:

Excellent!

 

[LincolnLuvr]

We need a detailed comparison from Out of Spec!

I'm thinking this will be a tweak to the IPMA. Not sure anything else would need to be massaged to get those sorts of improvements.

I’m guessing IPC module too, for the added lane change graphics.

So you think for us still on 1.1 they will just jump to 1.3? Hope it's soon before my 3 years runs out. Want to able to try it out while still on 3 year. Will not pay $800 for it.
