Coming soon: BlueCruise 1.3

[generaltso]

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.

There is no 1.1, but they said that 1.0 and 1.2 will go to 1.3.

Good news about BC 1.3. My BC expires at the end of the year. Is it $800 a year now? If that is the only plan I will not be paying $800 a year. I do not use it enough to justify that amount.

Your car is likely a Job 1 if it's expiring this year. The renewal for 2021 Job 1 cars will be $600 for 3 years.

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!

That’s awesome news!

We need a detailed comparison from Out of Spec!

... please no... not another 30 minute video with only 2 minutes worth of content from Out of Spec...

Pleasantly surprised! I admit to being one of the naysayers who doubted that Job 1 cars would get BC 1.2, much less what is now 1.3. Seeing Out Of Spec's Hog Back challenge video on BC 1.2 get's me super excited for the update, as it ranked at the top of their list against all other ADAS systems (even the much beloved GM Super Cruise)

I'm pretty psyched about this! And a big thanks to Ford for proactively answering the most important question (is it coming to existing cars). Thank you! Can't wait.

Tears from people without a working frunk button?

Yeah, they are. But they're doing it the right way, IMHO. Deliver super valuable features that people might pay money for. Compare that to GM's Carplay decision, which sounds more like "block features that are traditionally free and then make people pay to get them back".

That said, will I pay $800/yr? Nope, too expensive. But I appreciate that they're at least adding value.

Awesome! BC 1.2 in our 2023 is a vast improvement over 1.0, so I'm very happy that an even better version is coming to all Mach-E's with BlueCruise. Having just purchased a Lightning, I'm also very happy that Lightnings will get the update by the end of the year.

I think it's just showing that if you have BC 1.0 you'll go 5x further without BC disconnecting.

Clearly labeled as 1.0, 1.2 and 1.3 miles between hands-free disconnects, haha.

Thanks I didn't see that on my phone at first. That looks like a pretty big improvement.
