Does anyone know if there's a post or group that is keeping track of Blue Cruise highways? Specifically Southern California. Ford's map is just a blue blob. IF there is, let me know. If not, here goes what I found out today for Orange County:

  1. 241 toll road south from Chapman/Santiago Canyon Road to 133 south - works except when the road narrows from 3 to 2 lanes, gets confused by the disappearing lane line and the transition to the 133 south
  2. 133 south to i405, fine once off transition from the 241 and lost again at the I5 interchange
  3. I405 north to Jamboree, fine the whole way once on from the 133 transition
Will be driving around some more this weekend seeing where it does and doesn't work.

Hope I'm in the next day category. After Tuesday's second 2.7.3 update, got 2.7.4 today (Thursday). Job 1, May 2021, non-EA.
Next day category! 2.7.4 yesterday, 2.8.1 queued up for today.

2.8.2 is installing in my car. Damn it, I think I need to go on the freeway for lunch...
Got it as well today, took it out for a spin and it worked great.

Mine stopped after a failed update in Feb. I took the initiative and finished it with FDRS.

BC activated after OTA 1.8.3 installed while driving. It works on good ol' US Rte 1 in southern PA. IMHO, eyesight monitoring was perfect in my short test drive. I could tilt my head down or back w/o issue as long as my eyes pointed at road. No problem with sunglasses (polarized). About 5 sec look-away before BC warns. Vehicle kept centered in lane. It did briefly revert to "Hands On..." when I hit a slight dip/bump in the road. Otherwise, I give it 👍.
