Ford BlueCruise: Better Than Super Cruise?

[@ohroonoko]

Congratulations, this is the first time I’ve heard of BlueCruise. I’ve been wanting Supercruise for years now and somehow Ford’s version has escaped my notice until now.

[@PhillipStewartYYZ]

Too bad you have to pay a monthly subscription for both of them after 3 years.

[@ohroonoko]

@@PhillipStewartYYZ yes but if GM is constantly mapping roads for changes and new highways the way Google Maps is constantly photographing street views it makes sense. Three years free is long enough for customers to not want to do without it and be willing to pay for it. And for people who do 3-year leases they’ll never have to pay for it.

[@kobayashimaru8114]

Seriously, a subscription for cruise control?

[@goatmaster3387]

Too bad we are STILL waiting for it to activate, I purchased my 2021 F150 Lariat with prep package back in April last year, they said it would be out by the 4 qtr, still nothing almost a year later... now that I am done venting, good video on your side.

[@PhillipStewartYYZ]

Heh, when does the three years start until you have to pay monthly? Better home it ain't delivery.

[@KnightXV]

Activate your Ford pass. Also make sure your sync has wifi access

[@goatmaster3387]

@@KnightXV I've used FordPass since 2019 with my Superduty so that's not the issue. I have an appointment Monday to have the dealer install it. They said it will take a few days to update everything and test the system. But looks like it's almost time. Thanks for the feedback. I'll update when it's installed.

[@goatmaster3387]

@@KnightXV I had a 2019 F250 (Superduty) Larait Sport with Ultimate package from 2018>2021 then traded it in for my 2021 F150 Lariat Sport with a Powerboost (Btw sold it for more than I paid for it new in 2018). I used Fordpass on the Superduty, my wife's 2019 Edge ST, and my 2021 F150

This seem even more dangerous to me. Who can just sit there doing nothing without falling asleep? At least let me be able to look at my phone.

Those bendy roads are hard 🤣

[@cRADstig]

I have over 6k miles "hands free" with Open Pilot

[@ezzireifer6479]

Openpilot needs to get more attention. I commute 40 miles each way without touching the wheel.

[@youngchirp12]

I do too with autopilot

[@youngchirp12]

Open pilot is great next thing to a Tesla for highway driving but you don't have touch the wheel with it it's great

[@boostav]

5:00 Yeah that's great, very safe that it just gives out on tighter turns.

[@LegoWormNoah101]

Early tech, will be improved as the years go by and the technology matures

[@teanau11]

What is the difference between ford blue cruise and VW travel assist?? VW can also do the auto lane change now isn’t it? Without monthly fee??

[@zachjg98]

Nice little trip through Michigan, love to see it!

[@jacktyler7599]

Have you noticed Ford has provided NO method - app, web feature, onboard nav - for the BlueCruise user to plan a route that optimizes the use of BC? It's hard to believe this oversight. I'm about to drive from AZ to FL, there are 3 main routes to choose from, and I have no way of choosing the route with the most BC miles or highest % of BC highways.

[@michaelwerbick]

I10.......what other way would you even consider. LA to Jax

[@jacktyler7599]

@@michaelwerbick There are multiple options, Michael...and I-10 isn't the quickest nor the shortest.

[@Propain4eva]

7:10 This subscription bull**** needs to be stopped, especially on vehicles. The vehicle you already bought has the tech but your locking it behind a paywall? Ffs

[@JogBird]

there was no traffic when you tested

[@rahulverma638able]

It’s winter in Michigan traveling north. You won’t get much.

Hey Craig!

Blue's clues

[@barbschank7267]

Very well may drive better than most people🤷‍♀️

[@christianala]

It would be worth it if it didn’t have a camera watching your every move. It’s why Tesla has the best autopilot in the market.

[@Pabla98]

Teslas have a camera in the interior too but its not used for autopilot

[@mdbbox5660]

Tesla also requires you to keep a hand on the wheel.

[@sammccarthy6835]

... why? a camera in the interior means your being recorded to some data base or something? you think your backup camera is being streamed to the pentagon? lmfao

[@DisloyalOrder3]

But tesla has also had multiple collisions with emergency vehicles, semis, and highway dividers and costs $15k.

[@cessealbeach]

volt and bolt also had super cruise that went in Flames

[@justinsmith2598]

Chevrolet Volt & Bolt EV doesn’t offer Super Cruise, Ford fanboy. Bolt EUV does, but the regular Bolt doesn’t. Do research before you make up lies.

[@Green__one]

At 130,000 miles of road compared to the 4.6 million miles of public roads in North America, this works on approximately 2.8% of roads, compare that to 4.3% of roads for GM super Cruise, and again compare that to about 50% for Tesla autopilot. As long as Ford and GM insist on premapping their roads, these features will remain a complete joke

[@raymonds7492]

They’ll get there eventually🤷‍♂️

[@Green__one]

@@raymonds7492 no, they won't. As long as they insist on geofencing, it will never be a useful feature. Geofencing is always a dead end.

[@raymonds7492]

@@Green__one I guess we’ll just have to pay attention while driving then, so sad. The f-150 has plenty of other useful features in the meantime.

[@ShadowRaptor8]

You have to normalize that percent by utilization though. I’m willing to bet that the small 2.8% of roads that are pre mapped probably see up to 50% or so of all traffic. Whereas sure while every cul de sac and back road won’t be premapped, they’re used by a much smaller portion of drivers.

[@Green__one]

@@ShadowRaptor8 the published maps disagree with you, based on my usage around here we can change these percentages, Ford 5% GM 10% Tesla 99.8%. the reason for the huge boost to Tesla but not for Ford and GM is the insane decision to geofence. Geo-fencing makes this a useless feature.

[@nvabill]

If you are going to do a video about BlueCruise then please take the time to be factually correct in your presentation. As to the Mach E you mention the Comfort & Technology Package being an option to get BlueCruise. This is only correct as to the Select trim of the vehicle, it is standard on the California Route 1 as well as the Premium trim levels. You are correct however that it is an option on the GT trim level so guys, step up your game and do a little research before jumping in front of the camera!

[@84mbush]

You have misinformation on enhanced supercruise. You don't need to press the blinker lever for lane changing. Lane changing with supercruise is autonomous. It senses slower traffic, turns on the blinker and makes the lane change. It also goes back to the slower lane if it senses traffic coming from behind.

[@adam33555]

This is just a joke compared to Tesla

[@alexcuevas5633]

well Tesla's autonomy driving isn't ready for the real world yet

[@undesignated3491]

Think you find it will send tesla to the cleaners. Tesla should of sold to Ford a longtime ago the bullshit driverless vehicles would of been up and running already.

[@hwillia204]

So it's nowhere in the same class as Tesla FSD/Auto Pilot? It is limited to specific roads and does not work everywhere. Major Deal Breaker for me!

[@kdrapertrucker]

Not sure I understand why anyone would want this. When I drive, I want to drive.

[@ArtDav-jp6kg]

Not everywhere??uffffff uffff so many talks about nothing!!! Disappointing again

[@ivanguerini995]

Better is GMs súper cruise

[@jamesrapp9778]

Bloody hell mate, Tesla is lajit 15 years ahead of that. Our Qashqai Tecna Plus does better than that, and it's 4x4 modle from 2018... come on FORD 😎👌

[@JamesThomas-dn6ee]

Doesn't the tesla system cause crashes all the time lol also ford is updating this system all the time and its improving.

[@raymonds7492]

Personally I know how to drive so it’s really not that important.

[@twany442]

So you came to watch, look and listen. But in the end, you came to hate and waste energy being negative. Wow! It says more about you than your disdain for Ford. Can't stand GM products but you'll never find me on there bashing on any product they make, because I don't care. You on the other hand do.

Wow! … soon you won’t have to know ANYTHING, or have a lick of common sense, or really just have ANY SKILL whatsoever! Why, you’ll have a great life - falling asleep at the wheel, sticking your hand under the running lawnmower, forgetting where you live, or how to get there, or gleefully spraying oven cleaner in your eye without so much as a moment’s discomfort, much less risking permanent blindness! Think how much better you can concentrate on your video game, or someone else’s carbon footprint … ahhh …. Life is good …
