While we were in Detroit, Ford let us drive a Mach-E with BlueCruise 1.3 on it. It was only a short drive (less than 20 minutes), so it was hard to really judge it, but it seemed really smooth.

For many of us that have 1.0, new features in BlueCruise 1.2 include Lane Change Assist and In-Lane Repositioning. What changes in BlueCruise 1.3? No new features, but it disengages a lot less. That's really hard to test in a short drive, but the Ford rep said that is a huge difference in 1.3.

We didn't get any new details on the rollout other than it was coming soon.


So you're gonna let a computer decide when it's safe to change planes and it's funny how they make all this effort to spend time with people that are basically passing incorrect information along such as these video loggers with these cars and I can tell you a number of videos especially from this group here that have been nothing more than fluff pieces that provide no useful information it's getting sad out there.

I have asked the dealer several times to make sure I had the latest. Where do you look to find the level you have?
Most dealers are not going perform updates because you requested them. Dealers don’t get paid for performing updates unless a repair requires one. Otherwise, as far as I can tell, you're on your own. That's why plenty of us have learned how to do our own updates.

The question he was answering was about how to determine which version of software they were on. Dealer participation in updating cars outside of CSPs is another story altogether.

It was meant for @Dzrhino, who said he told his dealer he wanted all the latest updates. I've updated my post to clarify!

How do you know which Blue Cruise release you are on?

Fun fact: when an AED is used, a computer decides if you need to be shocked. Do you wear a medic alert informing people not to use an AED on you? ?

Since you have a 22, the default is BlueCruise 1.0. Early 23s got 1.2 and Later 23s and 24s got 1.3. BlueCruise 1.2+ has In-Lane repositioning and Lane Change Assist.

So we (those of us who have 2021 and 2022 models) will not get 1.2 or 1.3 Blue Cruise? Even though it was promised that we would get all "updates" to Blue Cruise.

They changed it to 1.4 and we'll get it sometime soon(TM).

I have BC 1.2. It's hard to tell what exactly is different when you're watching someone else drive. It definitely appears to have been a refinement of what already exists in 1.2. I suspect those with 1.2 should not expect a big change from what they already have.
yesh I think it depends on driver habits too.
