Is BlueCruise 1.4 in general release?

[Jimrpa]

Ford can't even get 1.3 rolled out. They've started the next release just hoping we'll forget that we never got 1.3.

You’ve never worked on large, multi-platform software deployments, have you? ?

Excellent point. Ford said that there over 50 software vendors involved.

So, have they frozen all the updates or just 7.0?

I can’t answer your question as I don’t work for Ford. That said, let’s apply a little business logic and human behavior patterns here. Many people like to take time off around the end of the year. More senior, knowledgeable people probably have greater flexibility to take time off. If you are a business, would it make sense to deploy significant changes to a marque customer-facing project, when your technical team is not available?
I know what I think the answer is ?

What stuff? ? Some EA people are more equal than others ???

They are, but sometimes you get the bad with the good.

Seems some people want to botch about Ford when they’re not included.

Always super keen to trial and can’t wait for updates but if I’m that dependant on having the latest update on day one, I need to get a life!

Don’t all those people know we’ve been promised this and they don’t get to take time off over the holidays until it’s delivered.

sheesh, Santa doesn’t take a break until after the holiday. Bah humbug.

Ford appears to be doing much better than the new Blazer.

I personally have worked on large multiplatform releases and i might be a little disappointed in Ford's communication but have a great interest in them taking their time.

That's correct!

As @Kamuelaflyer would say: SOON....

Well usually I say “Soon™” but in the case of general release of the next version of BC, it’s actually “soon.”

Well let’s not get carried away. Just go buy yourself a proper power supply, a proper interface device, a laptop computer, a high speed usb thumb drive, and an FDRS subscription and you’re all set to keep updating everything all the time!

“Soon” is Engineer speak for “I really want to talk about all the problems the team is resolving that are causing new problems with other modules and in the ideal world we would have had supplier X fix their stuff 6 months ago, but they didn’t and now I’m eating NDA-laden crow with the C-suite. So yeah. Soon.

Someone on here reported getting an update yesterday.

I don't have PowerUp 7.0 / BC 1.4 yet, but I have received 6.13 so I'm probably pretty close (1 major update and perhaps 1-2 minor unnumbered updates to go, I think).

I drove quite a bit today, and the radar cruise control and BC hands-free both seemed a little smoother. It got me thinking, even though I don't officially have BC 1.4 yet, could some of the modules updated via 6.x patches result in better BC performance?

I'm curious if others who have 6.13 have noticed any improvements to radar cruise control and BlueCruise.

I've only got updates through 6.8.0 and since I have a 2021 i'm probably not going to get 6.13.0, but that being said I've not noticed any notable changes. I believe that's because those updates don't included the IPMA and CCM module which would be the main modules affecting what I'd perceive for lane following and centering. I'd be interested in what others think though.
