2.8.2 Rocks! Improves Bluecruise camera performance.

[Nklem]

I have a July build Job 2 that came with operating blue cruise. No updates other than BC maps in February. I use BC every day except when the sun is shining in front of the car. So like 70% of the time, My progressive, coated glasses never agreed with it and I get the “watch the road” message constantly to the point, it puts the brakes on to get my attention. That “tone” disrupts my music constantly. I either take my glasses off, and I am blind without them, yes I have done it but I typically turn off Lane keep to continue the drive. With just adaptive cruise. So I have not been able to enjoy it on sunny days. I did have a Lightning for a weekend and had no issues. So I wondered if it was camera placement or bad Mach E design.

Today, with the sun shining on me, zero issues. 2.8.2 came Monday evening and this is a huge improvement for this issue.

I am going to a new eye doctor appointment tomorrow and was going to get non coated non progressive glasses for driving, now I do not have to. Just in time!

THANK YOU FORD!

This is my experience as well with a Job 1 that got BC OTA

Sounds nice. We finally got blue cruise activated and within a week the front camera faulted out and now I don’t even have basic cruise control and no way to get it fixed anytime soon.

I used BC this evening on a 100 mile roundtrip (Orlando to Daytona and back) with my new 05/2022 build AWD ER and there is no more ping-ponging unlike my Job 2 2021 Premium RWD ER which would zig-zag left and right.

Ford is fine-tuning everything from the brake-blending to BC every new Job. Hopefully folks get these full updates over OTA and don't need to visit a dealer.

Sounds helpful.
I didn't notice anything different when 2.8.2 installed. Glad some users are having success.
