You had me at “turn off lane centering”

Do people actually pay 50 per month for Blue Cruise?

Go figure, IMHO, aggravation is better when it's free.

I mean adaptive cruise control with lane centering works most anywhere and what major difference is there other than hand detection?

That is exactly what I mean... Why do they not allow bluecruise to work everywhere like adaptive cruise? I don't understand why it needs to be pre-mapped if pre-mapping doesn't actually accomplish anything. I thought Ford was playing it safe by having someone drive the roads and then tweak any problems such as off ramp speed signs, etc... But Nope, pre-mapped roads also drive like garbage so at least allow us to drive everywhere. We are forced to keep our eyes on road anyways.

Maybe in the US it's different because you have so many places to use it. In Canada they don't even have the major highways connecting major cities (you know where people would actually like to use it). All we have are some freeways inside our cities, where there are a hundreds off ramps and many legitimate speed changes. So if you shut speed signs off, you are constantly adjusting the speed and if you keep it on your truck drives like a yo-yo. Unusable!! Thank God they pre-mapped it. I hate to see what it would be like if they didn't.

At least in Canada, major improvements are needed before Ford can charge for this service. Unfortunately for me, I already paid for hardware and development believing the hype. I have already come to grips that I will not even get close to the promise of a usable semi-autonomous system with this generation of truck.
