If you turn off the "Intelligent" part of the Adaptive Cruise Control in settings it won't slow down for the speed limits anymore, it'll stay at your desired speed.New forum member here, got my GTPE a few weeks ago. I think you'll like BlueCruise. I have a 20 mile commute to work and most of that is on an interstate-quality highway that is a bypass around the city. The annoying thing is that with Ford adaptive cruise control, it knows the speed limit regions and there is a point where it goes from 65 to 50 so it's very abrupt and annoying when it slows down rapidly (this is even if you have the cruise speed set to a different value). There is also one part of the highway that gets poor cell reception and it asks me to take control of the steering wheel but it only lasts for about 10 seconds and then resumes control. (edit: It's also on a fairly sharp curve in the highway, so I'm not sure if it's because of the lack of cell signal or if it's from how tight the turn is).
I'd summarize it as basically adaptive cruise control with lane centering. When you change lanes, you use your turn signal and it temporarily disables hands-free (becomes normal cruise control) then goes back to hands-free once you complete the lane change yourself. Overall though I like it and it makes my commutes much more relaxing, but does have some quirks.
Where has an October date been published? I’ve only seen “fall”We've taken a 2,800 mile and a 1,900 mile trip, and wish I'd have BlueCruise for those. Lost Lane Centering on the last trip, and really noticed that missing.
If it comes in October (as newly promised), we'll likely wait to activate it for our next trip, no sense paying for it when it doesn't help local driving.
Published? Nowhere.Where has an October date been published? I’ve only seen “fall”
I imagine, though, that turning off "Intelligent" also means it will not slow to down when coming up behind a slower car in traffic. That I don't mind as much as the abrupt changes in speed limit signs. I suppose like life itself bluecruise is full of compromises.If you turn off the "Intelligent" part of the Adaptive Cruise Control in settings it won't slow down for the speed limits anymore, it'll stay at your desired speed.
No. That's the adaptive part.I imagine, though, that turning off "Intelligent" also means it will not slow to down when coming up behind a slower car in traffic. That I don't mind as much as the abrupt changes in speed limit signs. I suppose like life itself bluecruise is full of compromises.
Actually it will still do that. There's three levels of Mach E cruise control: Regular dumb cruise control, adaptive, and then intelligent. Adaptive will follow the speed of the car in front of you at the distance interval you select and then will speed up to your desired speed once that car is out of the way.I imagine, though, that turning off "Intelligent" also means it will not slow to down when coming up behind a slower car in traffic.

Thanks for bringing that back up. We need to start a running tracker somewhere of all the Ford delivery promises.Published? Nowhere.
Darren Palmer said in an interview, "you're going to see BlueCruise coming in in September and October". 2:10 into the video.
Ooooh, then that's perfect! Thanks for the knowledge.Actually it will still do that. There's three levels of Mach E cruise control: Regular dumb cruise control, adaptive, and then intelligent.

Correct. Adaptive is the “just right” way to go. The “intelligent” ACC is… misnamed. It gets fooled way too easily. And apparently it also plays havoc with BC? Another reason to not use IACC.Actually it will still do that. There's three levels of Mach E cruise control: Regular dumb cruise control, adaptive, and then intelligent.

Plus, if my car shot down to the actual speed limit on the roads here in Jersey, I'd be a dead man ?Correct. Adaptive is the “just right” way to go. The “intelligent” ACC is… misnamed. It gets fooled way too easily. And apparently it also plays havoc with BC? Another reason to not use IACC.
