Here is a video (not the current one on Ford's web site) that shows Blind Spot Assist. Go to 1:49.

Note the steering wheel icon.

it is exactly what it does in the video.
To be fair, the video only talks about alerting you and it is unclear if the car motion in the video is ADAS or the driver responding to BLIS.

The excerpt in post #15 does say the system "applies a nudge".

I must admit that in the previous post video(#31) everytime there is an assist function steering wheel shown there's kind of some sort of hand's taking care of the steering.

Yes so it's a kind of light alert kind of and then you have to steer back in your lane

You are always controlling the steering. The system will apply a small amount of torque to the wheel to help direct you back into your lane. Just like it does with lane keeping.

Based on the video, yes. Note that the video is from the older Ford Co-Pilot 360. We're getting Ford Co-Pilot 360 2.0.

Based on the Dealer Training brochure @hybrid2bev posted above, the Mach E has actual Blind Spot Assist and describes it as NEW.

Blind Spot Assist and Intersection Assist explainer for the Ford Kuga:

It's quite impressive that the system even works backwards for folks who drive on the wrong side of the road ;)

I don't see it on the vehicle landing page either; but I did find something in this Ford Media article from June:

Confidence-Driving Technology

Mustang Mach-E’s Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0 standard package includes two enhancements to Ford’s Lane-Keeping System: Road Edge Detection and Blind Spot Assist.

Road Edge Detection can increase driving confidence in rural areas by sensing the edges of a lane with visible lines or road with a clear edge, such as grass or dirt. The technology can then alert the driver if the vehicle is starting to drift out of the lane or off the road. Blind Spot Assist identifies vehicles in a blind spot with a light on the side view mirror, and then applies a nudge in the vehicle’s steering system to help provide caution against an unsafe action.

The updated Lane-Keeping System joins Auto High-Beam Headlamps, Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Post-Collision Braking, Rear View Camera, Reverse Brake Assist and Reverse Sensing System as technologies on the Mustang Mach-E Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0 standard package.

I’ve asked my dealer 3 times if 360-2.0 can be activated if it isn’t active on the Mach-E when purchased. She hasn’t answered, does anyone know if it can be activated after the fact?
