Annoying keep hands on wheel message

[topher10]

I will add that I am one of those that hates this feature (lane assist) due to the constant nagging about hands on the wheel. My hands are on the wheel!!! At this point I immediately turn it off as soon as I activate cruise control.

Back when I had blue cruise it was not a big deal because my hands weren’t on the wheel. I think they need some type of capacitance sensing that would actually indicate that hands are on the wheel.

Used to own a Tesla and it was the same way. My sons 2025 F350 diesel is also the same as our Lightning.

I don't mind the message as long as it will just display for a few secs and then go away. IMHO the only time it should go red and beep is IF the truck starts to veer out of the lane, or make too many corrections. It certainly seems to be able to keep in a straight line by itself on the straighter roads, and also handle the smoother curves. As most of you, I always keep my hands on the wheel.

FWIW, the torque threshold on the Lightning is significantly lower than a Tesla Model Y. That and if you pull the steering wheel too hard it does not disengage ACC. I agree the easiest solution is to disengage lane keeping on straight non-Blue Cruise roads. The truck generally tracks straight with less engagement needed than the nag and lane departure assist/warning will still mostly keep you out of trouble if you momentarily lose focus.

Comma 3x. They have a 4 now that is smaller without the big screen.

Definitely wanna get this at some point.
