That is the unbridled animation. As you accelerate the lines get longer and brighter. When you turn off all driver assistance features you get a bigger animation in the center of the screen around the speedometer.

One of my biggest complaints is that I love this screen but also want to use lane-keep assist. There is absolutely no reason I need an image on my IPC to tell me I'm in the lanes, just nudge me back over if I drift and give me this screen.

Funny enough, it WAS "Unbridled" in the past, and now, in the present, it is Unbridle". Mine changed from an adjective to a verb about a year ago. Not sure why?
Whisper, Engage, Unbridle

Don’t know why we need an unbridle graphic. You can tell by the responsiveness of the accelerator. I’d rather have the brake coach.

If Ford made a car that produced gold bricks, people would ask the following questions:

- Why do they have to be bricks? Can't they be coins?

- I prefer silver. Can we choose the metal?

- The speedometer is offset. My OCD is going crazy. Why Ford, why?

Over the years, if you go to any forum on any subject, you realize why people that design products, or user interfaces, can't win. A significant percentage of the human population using the product / interface just has to find fault.

Why aren't there 4 lines....?

So in your ideal world everyone likes the same things, never complain and bow down to the decisions of the manufactures. You are George Orwell's kind of guy.
(PS some people are allergic to gold :) )

Manufacturers...

Didn't say that. Just pointing out that you can't satisfy everyone. It's impossible.

I have a 21', and unless it's been disabled; I get a "white" snowflake when it drops below 40 degrees. Never seen it orange and I drive exclusively in Unbridle(d).
Can you post a pic? Maybe the Job 1 version is white. I wouldn’t know since I never enabled it.

In the words of Ricky Nelson, "You can't please everyone so you've got to please yourself."

100% agree. Most of the time it's because it's the way THEY want, and not what the masses would want. There is a lot of R&D that takes place to find where the middle / average user ground is.

Because people complained here. Now we all have to use a word no one in their right mind uses. ;)

Does this only appear on certain models or years? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it on my ā€˜21 Job 1 .
I’ve never seen it on my 2021 job 1 either. Of course I do live in Hawaii. :p
