Bluecruise OTA Status?

[Pierre.Granger]

Let's have a zoom party for 6/30 so we can have the same feedback on how they missed Q2-2022 for the 3rd or 4th straight quarters.

And crickets from Ford. I think that pisses me off more than the inept engineers.

Over 7 hours spread over 2 days.. And I was starting from OTA 2.4.3, Some are stuck at 1.7.1. Or worse. Add a couple more hours if that is you.

After SW updates then some have to deal with configuration issues. Ford config forgets you have running boards installed. Me. Others have also had to tweak the configuration to enable cameras at speed. Mine worked.

I have no idea how Ford fixes those with OTA. I am closely watching for OTA Bluecruise update successes to see how those are handled.

Could you tell me where to look for the OTA version #...
Stopped at dealer and they couldn't tell me or find it either.
Thanks

Dealer did say there is a Blue Cruise update scheduled to be released on 4/1, tomorrow.

“The full BlueZone interactive map is expected to be available in May 2022.”

I like the sound of that - don’t have BlueCruise yet but very curious to know where it is going to work.

I think it would be anywhere
"Lane Assist " works..
My guess.

I’ll believe it when it actually arrives. They haven’t said much on the subject.

Not how it works. Never was never will be. Lane assist is anything with markings I suspect BlueCruise will always be divided highways.

What the heck is all this fuss about Bluecruise not working? I’m hoping they get the wrinkles out come June. Selling my Tesla for the Lightning. When I’m tired and get behind the wheel in Tesla, autopilot easily takes 75% of the stress off of driving tired. I’m guessing with Bluecruise, if it works, will be the same or better.

It’s only for cars manufactured before July 2021 (Job 1 trucks) anything made after works. A new Lightning will work. F-150 has always had an autopilot style system called a active assist (or something) which I haven’t driven AP which is probably similar but marginally worse. Lane centering works well but doesn’t do AP things like slowing for curves.

Quickest way to find OTA version is in Fordpass.

And Ford did release to the dealers a TSB to get everyone to Bluecruise. So now the dealer can't say "No updates available." Here is info:

I was just at the dealership yesterday and they told me they no nothing about installing
Blue cruise.

Im still waiting on BC updates just got home and says successful 2.4.5 update while I was driving
maybe its a April fools joke?

I've looked everywhere and I can't find the
OTA update Version # I'm on?

 

[Aaron34]

I just got my notification that 2.4.4 is waiting to be installed. 10 days after getting 2.4.3... At this rate I might have BC by summer. ?

Nope. Just a complete joke and another missed promise. They are now virtually assured to be crying wolf a 3rd time saying “it will surely be Q2-2022”. My job 1 truck is now over a year old and has 17k miles on it. Top of the line Platinum and I’m “enrolled” in the early access plan - whatever good that does.

My patience has worn completely thin now. If it wasn’t for the generator feature, I would have selected a different brand.

Strangely my PB built in early October 2021 has functional blue cruise save for some weird speed accelerations not called for by driver .. to higher than posted speeds .. my generator still faults out when moisture is around. Driving a wet road , getting washed , snow .. waiting on these brilliant engineers to make a software fix
