Blue Cruise map enhancements.

The marked one

Well there's the problem the DOT has the lines all wonky. JK.

No idea why BC is dropping then. Unless you can try one of the lanes to the right and see if it matters or not, probably not.

Do not like it at all since it stays too far left in lane. Our tesla y auto pilot is amazing and sold on its ability to drive hands free. We have a free trial but not something worth 15000.

Interesting - mine stays too far right. My Tesla 3 ping ponged but really liked aggressive moves to the right if there was a semi there.

BTW you are laughing but there is a stretch like that too... all "wonky"
and yes... the BC disengages on that stretch as well

BC looks at the stripes to stay in its lane... no stripes, no BC, wonky stripes, often no BC.

That is exactly what my question is. Are they enhancing the feature? And if yes then how do they collect all the bugs and issues for future enhancements.

I’m sure they are working on it, but not with data from every car on the road. Some drivers that have reported issues to Ford via social or the dealers have had an advanced analytics function enabled on their cars, but even then I don’t know that camera data is sent.

Same problem as OP… in the exact same spot! The 210 freeway. BC always disengages there. And many other points on the 210.

Somewhere around here. One direction only

Maybe GM contracted with CalTech to create a BC jamming device so people would buy a GM with SuperCruise.

At least we know now that it's not the cars.... ding

Ahhh ok, that makes sense. I figured there was some interference caused by the gantries, but I didn’t know what.

Part of it is that, but also could be due to a legal side. There are concerns that if you are not operating your vehicle when you get a toll, if it means the toll is legally enforceable. (Depends on the state here and the language of the law.) Someone could say the car drove itself through the toll and so you are not responsible for it. (Yes it’s dumb, but. people could argue it.) So having it drop out in those areas just makes sure that kind of argument can’t happen.

Frankly it’s silly and BC should be able to do it just fine. I hope the maps start to show more confidence in areas. It can certainly be expanded.

Interesting theory. Personally I never put my hands back on for tolls. The area where it disengages is so short I usually can make it through it before the car complains at me.

I’ve heard similar complaint’s several times on the Forum, but I don’t have the problem.

In fact, Without BC 1.2, I often wish that the car would wander a little left when passing an 18 wheeler being driven buy someone who has obviously run out of amphetamines.

Half the H1 freeway network in Hawaii is not available for BlueCruise. Lanes are too narrow.

I'm just wondering are the maps of this ridiculously priced BC being enhanced actually.
On my way from the office home I have a little stretch. It is strait, no curves. Marking is fine. Nothing unusual. But for some reason the BC goes off on that stretch. It happens from the first day and keeps happening every day for a year and a half.
Also the BC usually ignores Speed limit for trucks except one that is a little different from others. It says

------------
| TRUCKS
|-----------
|Speed Limit
|
| 55
------------

My BC reacts on that particular one all the time for some reason.

How does the Ford enhance their BC software. Do they have a system of reporting and including the situations like that to their knowledge base?

ON NC147 south bound and south of Durham near Ellis Road there is a sign posting 65mph. My Mach-E reads it as 85mph and off I go. Others in the area have experienced this as well. It's like an easter egg.

I'll get trashed for this probably, but... It's probably one of two things. The camera isn't calibrated, or, the car is in the center and people think it isn't. Some are really bad at judging when a car is in the center.

It is not hard to check. Just look at both side mirrors and see the distance from the side of the car to the line. Make surer it is the same on both sides
