I could tell you, but then I’d have to ⚰? you.
You guys aren't implying that he's dead, right?!? David Attenborough is still doing his thing at a spry 95 years of age.

Well, Mr. Attenborough is dead. But I guess since we’re talking about Planet Earth and not Jurassic Park, you’re right.

Seems to work well with the mirrored sunglasses. Getting the drink is one of the main hands free benefits, at least IMHO.

I laughed on the inside about the heated steering wheel at one point... It was on because the driver profile I have set up for myself automatically left it on from preconditioning the cabin prior to getting in the car and navigating out of the city at first lol...

Plus, during those physically demanding lane changes, who wants to touch a cold steering wheel! lol

To say the least, I had a Homer Simpson "Doh!" moment at one point lol

Appears to be a pretty healthy distance between you and the car in front of you. Are you able to set the distance on Bluecruise?

Take note of the IR sensor/camera system behind the wheel that the GoPro picks up. Super cool but one thing I've noticed (not shown in this video) that might bug some people is that you will get a "Watch The Road" prompt when you're only using lane-centering (not full handsfree BlueCruise) if you're someone that's accustomed to driving a manual transmission as I am. I think the F-150's will not have this issue as I can see that the main IR sensors are in the pillars.

Can you explain in more detail what you mean about getting the warning if you are used to driving manual transmission?

My other vehicle is a Manual Trans GT I'm used to driving with my left hand on top of the steering wheel (between 11 and 1 o'clock) and since the IR sensors are right behind the wheel, my left arm will block the IR lights/camera/sensors. So, if I'm in normal "Lane Centering/Lane Keeping" mode without bluecruise on, the system can't see my eyes and it will alert/prompt to "Watch The Road" because it needs to confirm my eyes are on the road... The IR light/camera system is in the A pillar in the F-150's so I don't think this will be an issue for F-150 Drivers.

Yes. I did have it on the closest following distance. The system does seem to be pretty intuitive and it does a decent job at keeping/extending to a fair distance when necessary (if a vehicle in front of me brakes suddenly or cuts me off) but it will also maintain a close distance if there isn't anything to out of the ordinary in front of it.

If I had to explain it in a less scientific way, the adaptive cruise isn't as gunshy or paranoid about certain scenarios that pop up in front of it as my 2018 F-150's adaptive cruise used to be. It seems more confident about getting closer and knowing when to back up. It's more ballsy lol.

There is a button in the top right that allows you to make carplay slightly more fullscreen.
