As I continue my search for a car, I’m curious if anyone here has been driving their car without a bluecruise subscription.

I understand that the MME has hands-on lane centering on all roads similar to Teslas free Autopilot (not FSD). It’s a big deal to me since i have a long commute, often in stop and go traffic, and would like to have some driving help from the car. Especially in stop and go situations. Tesla autopilot did a great job in that arena.

How does the MME CoPilot perform? Is it as good as the free Tesla Autopilot? Is it good enough to use for 90% of your drive, including local roads and semi sharp curves?

Also, is it able to basically do everything that having a BlueCruise subscription does except that you have to keep hands on wheel?

None of Ford’s driving assists are designed to function on surface streets. It works pretty well on freeways and their sharper curves, although if you turn off some of its predictive speed changes it gets more likely to disengage on them.

It’s one of my favorite features in modern L2 systems; that they have a defined driving domain and don’t lull people into believing they’re safe in any driving environment.

Tesla AutoPilot does not exist anymore in Canada and the USA. It was put in the graveyard in an attempt to increase FSD usage and corresponding monthly fee of $99.00. Forums such as Teslamotorclub.com has details.

I thought that standard CoPilot was able to do basic lane centering as long as you hand your hands on the steering wheel. I had a very brief experience with it when I test drove it a few months ago but didn’t get an extensive look at it and was hoping to get more insight.

If the lane is marked on both sides it can activate and it will do very okay. The residential commuter street I live on, it’s willing to try but the curves are sharp enough it can’t reliably sustain things.
It’s definitely not tuned for such environments and doesn’t try to push the edge, although for anything high-speed with controlled access it holds up.

I think that’s pretty similar to autopilot. I wouldn’t try autopilot on any unmarked roads and definitely wouldn’t trust it on sharp turns like a roundabout.

I would mostly be on marked lanes in local city roads 99% of the time.

Most of the ADAS functions on city and country roads. Lane keeping, slowing for curves, pedestrian, cycle, and other vehicles braking to avoid colliding, lane keeping assistance, advanced cruise control. and more.
