Blue Cruise. Why is everyone so upset?

[DYohn]

I read more complaints these days about forum members being upset that their car does not have the latest and greatest version of BC, or that they are not satisfied with BC performance, or that they are frustrated that they have to frequently get rminders to put hands on the wheel, or whatever.

I have a 2021 Job 1 Premium with what I believe to be version 1.1 of BC (I can go hands-free in certain sections of highway.) My home office is 40-miles one way from my current project site. I drive there on US highways every other day, activating Cruise Control and letting BC keep me lane centered, and when it says "hands free" I relax my hands but keep them on the wheel. Not because I don't trust the system, but because I am old and I think driving a car means driving the car. I have experimented with letting the system slow me and come to a stop when traffic backs up, but I don't like it, because again I am the driver I want to drive. BC works fine for me. I have no complaints. And you know what, if the whiz-bang auto-lane-change and latte-dispenser feature gets pushed to my car I do not think i will ever use it. Because I like driving.

It's other drivers I don't trust, not the MME or BC.

You have 1.0.

BC 1.3 has improvements over 1.0 like lane change which some like. It also holds position better, handles curves better, and keeps further away from semis.

I like to drive too, but when you drive a few thousand miles, putting your hands in your lap is very relaxing.

I’m gonna start complaining about people on this forum that complain about people complaining.?

Edit: fixed because Rick complained!

 

[RickMachE]

Not if you can't spell complaining you're not!

And your the first one! I’m just fed up with people who complain about how people spell when their complaining about people complaing. Take that Mr. Spell-check checker complainer!?

 

[RickMachE]

Wow, really dude? You CAPITALIZE Spell and then have the AUDACITY to hyphenate Spell-check? You're one of those hyphenators, aren't you?

Are you still using the initial 3 year trial subscription? It seems like that would have expired by now. It doesn't sound like you would be interested in extending your sub. so you can save some money.​

No, I renewed my subscription for three more years and was able to use my Ford Pass rewards points for most of the cost. The car has the capability so why not use it?

Thank you for starting another thread on this.

I’m upset about extending my subscription this past December based, in part, upon Ford’s multiple promises back in Summer 2023 that an upgrade to 1.3 (and now I can also share 1.4) was coming “in the coming weeks.” I’m now almost 1 year into my renewal and my 2021 (enrolled in EAP) has been moved to the back of the line, if ever. And now Ford is teasing a 1.5.

Meanwhile, the @Ford Motor Company AI bot pops into random threads to compliment people on their car pics, and that’s about it.

So yeah, I’m pissed.

When I pay for a software subscription I expect my software to be kept up to date.

Since we're going to spell check, I feel the need to be the grammar police here. What you meant to say was "not if you can't spell complaining you're not!"

I would trust Bruce Jenner's breast milk before I would trust the opinion of anyone who posts something so ridiculous as this

Who here has never even used blue cruise?
I'm sure it has its uses, but I prefer to drive my cars.

Never? I was curious enough to try it out. It was kinda cool, but utterly worthless to me. I don't use it at all.
