Again, YOU don't have a problem to solve because YOU admitted that YOU don't care what people behind you think about your brake light behavior, despite also describing to us how Ford's 1PD brake light behavior is "very aggressive".
I still don't know what "we" you've been referring to. You're...
Ok. So let's make it an optional feature. Many of us would consider it quite useful and not distracting at all, so the "we" in your first paragraph is really more about "you".
I feel like you're confusing "paying attention" with "actively keeping the car centered in the lane and at a desired speed". These two things are not the same.
Agreed! Thankfully it objectively does. You're just narrowly focusing on stationary object avoidance capability to try to win an internet argument, ignoring everything else that BC provides.
I think you're just making this up, but even if it's true there's still value in handling the "least...
They could choose to simply make the existing small red lights in the image a little bigger/brighter while brake lights are on. It would be a subtle change, but would provide useful information.
You have zero information on what the 23-year drunk driver was thinking at 3am. You have even less information on what would have happened if this dunk driver wasn't using BC. Keep in mind, BC at least ensured that this driver had eyes on the road, unlike traditional driving.
And help me...
We get it. You have a strong opinion against ADAS, and thankfully you're not forced to use it. But my guess is the driver being under the influence will be the focus of this particular incident. If you disagree, then maybe you can explain how you think Bluecruise was the cause?
Not sure why...
I don't think we know anything yet, except the MME hit two stationary vehicles at 3am on an interstate, two people are dead, and apparently Bluecruise was involved.
If it's true that Bluecruise is designed to not do anything at all to avoid stationary vehicles in the road, then I'd imagine...
Absolutely possible, and yes it's the driver's fault.
But let's be honest that seeing a pair of tail lights off in the distance, almost a football field away, and recognizing that they're not just another car moving at/around your speed in the distance (like the 10,000 other cars you've seen...
If you've ever had the experience of driving on an interstate in the middle of the night at highway speed with no traffic, and then suddenly coming up on a stopped car in a high-speed lane, it's a pretty scary and surprising situation with or without ADAS. It's not something that's always easy...
I don't have an opinion on what Ford may or may not be doing with my data. But hopefully we can agree it's frustrating that Ford requires us to share things like seat belt and brake/accelerator usage data in order to use totally unrelated features of the app.
Funny, my Unbridle anxiety is the opposite. I worry that my brake lights are on too much of the time.
Now that Ford has moved the car to the center of the IPC screen, maybe they can make that useless static image a little more useful by illuminating the brake lights in the image when they're...
I'm so tempted. But my BC road coverage here in the Northeast is acvually pretty good, at least for my common trips. I'm on BC 1.0 which is "okay", but has some well-known problems that really take away from the experience.
I can't quite justify the OP expense right now but I'll admit the...
This is a great project, and many thanks to everyone for contributing and sharing! If I keep my MME after my 3-year BC trial runs out then this will be a no-brainer.
Question: I see mentions of a dashcam mode. Can the dashcam functionality run at the same time as the OP ADAS functions, or is...
