BlueCruise appears in Connected Services

[Brutakus]

I believe the issue with speed limit signs people have been having is due to the MME using outdated Garmin maps. They likely have GPS marked speed limits that are also outdated but I believe the MME also used speed limit sign recognition. So I think it's a disconnect between the outdated maps and the speed limit recognition not seeing any signs so it reverts to GPS data. I really wish some automaker would just use Google Maps and be done with all these crappy nav services.

I know for a fact the maps are quite outdated as the MME nav regularly tells me to turn onto streets that dont exist anymore/have been turned to one-way/no turn streets or skips turns down newer streets that would be faster.

I've contacted Ford many times over the outdated maps and every person I talk to tries to throw me off to the next person and 0 progress has been made. Ford CS is SO uninformed about anything MME related its stupid

As they said: coming soon. Another OTA is scheduled late July and a big one for the end of August. ?

Are those upcoming OTA dates published somewhere, or do you just have more info than, well, me? (Knowing more than me is a low bar, admittedly.)

Actually, the late July update is 1.6.0 and is being delivered now. Lots of folks have already received it.

Lol I thought maybe there was something more exciting than 1.6.0 ? that one just seems to have made my car unhappy ?

He did say the one next month is supposedly exciting

It must only be a US thing for now, because as a Canadian ?? customer I'm not seeing it on their Ford.ca/connectedservices page yet.

Hopefully soon though!

I am also in Canada and received an error message when trying to access Connected Services. It says that I should login to another site for Canada? What site?

Looks to be showing up, again, in Connected Services.

What advantages will Blue Cruise bring that CoPilot 360 doesn’t have other than needing to touch the steering wheel at regular intervals? Will it do lane changes?

You can use a ankle weight on the steering wheel and drive hands free anywhere you see the bubble on the dash. The speed is currently adjusted by GPS & Speed Limit Signs.

Totally hands free but does not do lane changes.

What you are suggesting to spoof the steering wheel sensor is dangerous and should not be encouraged.

I just received an Early Access invitation to Blue Cruise.

Same. Was hoping they wouldn't try to charge me the $600 for it, but it says when you receive the activation e-mail you'll be required to pay the fee to activate...which I will, of course.
