BlueCruise- what do you do while it's on?

Look at the road while getting yelled at to look at the road.

watch the road and keep alert for issues around me

With the latest BlueCruise update, the "BlueCruise is available" toast has popped up a lot. I don't use BC very often, but wanted to see how it behaved with the enhancements. It's better, moves a little to give semis some room, seems a little smoother on speed changes, that sort of thing.

While letting it run for a few miles, two thoughts occurred to me- 1) It's more stressful to watch what it's doing than it is to do it myself; b) I don't have much of anything to do if I'm not driving.

B) led me to a question for the heavy BC-use crowd: What do you do while BlueCruise is on?

lol. Just like you said. I have to constant eff with it because the hands on indicator lights up 25 times during my 15 mile commute, then "hands-off available" and Im like... OK guess I'll do that then. Back and forth I go... hardly worth it. That and its inability to merge or behave correctly when changing lanes... all I do is watch it screw up. More like a party trick. Autopilot was so much better, if I didnt own a Tesla before this car I might not even notice. But I did. And BC is abysmal.

How is Hyundai HDA?

My '22 MME is in the shop, they gave me brand new '24 as a loner. Wish mine would get some of these updates. The BC is more refined but I was surprised when driving on 2 lane highways, it would slowdown on corners and going into round-a-bouts. Hope in the future they make the correction user adjustable. Still not worth $800 per year. I enjoy the scenery more and look for idiot drivers.

Only have used it on one long (1000 mile RT) so far, but...

Used it mostly in light to moderate traffic with good visibility and sight distance. Hands in lap or arms crossed. Spent most of the time surveying the situation further ahead than I might when driving hands-on. Was always ready to take control if needed. I felt it made me safer than hands-on in this scenario.

I could be wrong but I think you can turn off predictive speed assist. I think that’s what it’s called. I’m still on 1.0 because I took a chance on buying a First Edition.
