BlueCruise Future for Lightning

Grab a comma and call it a day.

Very much considering it. Just not sure how I feel about a 3rd party device controlling the truck…

I would let that fear subside.. it's better than BlueCruise by far just because it can be used anywhere and MADS is worth it too.. it steers, you still control the throttle.

Does Comma check blind spots during lane changes like BC?

It uses the same sensors to alert you and will not change if they're alarming, but it still does rely on you looking to be sure.

It’s just annoying, I’m completely happy with BlueCruise sans the cost. I really only want highway assistance but $495 annually for just highway assistance is bonkers.

Every time I used it was limited at best and always made me take over because of the mapping or construction etc..

None of that is an issue with the Comma and it works anywhere, no pre-mapping.

My 2024 Lariat only came with 3 months of bluecruise so I just rationalized the Comma by saying it saved me on a few years of bluecruise.

I’ve had it for the last 15 months and it’s not been an issue for me. When I drive from Cleveland, OH to Charlottle, NC, I maybe have 2 minutes of manual intervention during the 9 hour drive. That’s all I’m looking for.

So we’ll see, I’ll still consider a Comma 4 but I’d really prefer the built in tool that meets my needs. Also if 1.4 is it, I don’t think any Lightning owner should be charged for it. If the system runs 100% on the truck I don’t understand what Ford is charging us for? Certainly not future development….
