Hello all. As I'm learning my vehicle I have some concerns regarding the car behavior when Adaptive Cruise Control + Lane Keeping are turned on (not Blue Cruise active). Let me know if what I am experiencing is common and is expected, or if this will most likely be fixed with future OTA updates.
1. Adaptive Cruise Control feels late in recognizing a stopped vehicle in front of you. For example, I'm approaching a red light with a completely stopped vehicle. I start to get uncomfortable as the Mach-E continues marching forward without slowing down. Only once out of the 4-5 times that I was able to test this did I not have to intervene and the car started slowing down "safely".
2. Adaptive Cruise Control hugs center when it could be hugging left/right side depending on the situation. Should hug left when you're the left-most lane of a divided highway and should hug right when there's one lane in each direction on a non-divided freeway. This is a potential improvement that would probably be a manually added feature (not learned machine learning applied through driver data).
3. There's a section of the road where the ACC decides to swing into an approaching left turning lane of a 2-lane freeway. I suspect this will be improved with more driver data collected by Ford. Frankly, I'm surprised that this issue exists. Shows the adolescence of the Ford driver assistance software.
Overall, I'm pleased with the current state and looking forward to future improvements.
