A very interesting system. I was going to ask about falling asleep while using the system and you pretty much covered what happens with your eyes being off the road for too long. I hope you do get a chance to investigate the system more and trying to simulate a person falling asleep.
My dad has the mach e with adaptive cruise control and lane assist, it 100% makes me a more patient driver haha. Idk why, but the need to overtake people that drive under the speedlimit or just on etc. is so much smaller.
Bluecruise is disabled when you plug in trailer on 2023 but works on 2021 lariat. Ford dealership can’t figure it out or give me explanation why it doesn’t work as soon as I plug in my trailer. Can someone help me?
I have the Powerboost F150 with adaptive cruise and lane keeping and I think on the highway it works pretty well. It’s better in the daytime than at night. I think in certain situations these systems will improve the safety on the road. Particularly with distracted driving.

You and me both! As I rider I am super sketched out at automations ability to recognize motorcyclists and how it will react in infinite complex scenarios that AI might not recognize.
I have to give props...when you hit that ruff patch of road you instinctively and immediately held back onto the wheel!!...proving you need to still be mindful of the surroundings!...great work my friend!😎🤙👍🤙👍
I just got the Blue Cruise software update and came across your video. I was using Lane Assist and Adaptive Cruise when I first purchased my truck and something weird happened. I was driving on a highway on a sunny day when I went under a flyover that was casting a shadow diagonally across my lane. The Ford took a pretty hard steering correction that I'm sure would have taken me out of my lane if I did not have my hands on the steering wheel. I do not believe the brakes were applied. It was somewhat startling, but that has not happened since. Maybe it got confused between the shadow and the lane markers. I had dotted lines on either side of me. Wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience.
I have a 2022 Lariat and love it. As far as ANY hands free on ANY vehicle....I implore you...stay aware, alert and hands in a ready position at ALL times. Regardless of the vehicle or system a few things will never change. Machines / computers will fail and those around you aren't paying attention and/or are aholes. 30 years as a paramedic...it takes a second for you, your vehicle or the ars on the road to change your life. Reactions to survive comes down literally to seconds. With your hands off the wheel sipping a Grande Mocha Latte Frappuccino and enjoying the scenery....the next thing you'll remember...if you're lucky is getting extricated from your car / truck. These systems cannot or will not ever be able to override stupidity, laziness, road rage, drivers dozed off or DUI's.
I think saying “hands free” is 100% correct. I’ve been using Blue Cruise on mine for about a month and I’m completely hands free, especially on road trips. It takes a second to center in the lane after a turn but nothing exaggerated and definitely not dangerous. I think it just takes some getting used to.

I’ve found that my F150 Lariat Powerboost in hands-free mode definitely excels most in bumper to bumper traffic. I have the same issue with the truck overcompensating at the end of the turn when using the hands-free, it’s pretty dangerous in my opinion. It’s also ridiculously dangerous when driving through areas that the speed limit changes, it will basically brake check the person behind you. Now, I always turn it off, take control, and then reset my speed when I know the speed limit is going to change. It’s great on long straight highway drives, but I don’t trust it through any long sweeping turns. Other than those issues, I find the truck to be pretty amazing and the onboard generator is a game changer.
I was actually surprised by how much the Blue Cruise acted like a real driver. Not to say your experience didn’t happen but I felt the braking was very smooth when cars pull in front of me and when I’m slowing down

Dan, I was driving back to TX from NM, was on cruise and realized it must have downloaded. Thought it was pretty cool, but it did ping pong a bit. Doesn’t drive as well as I do, but I wanted to let it do it’s thing (cautiously) to see how it did. A couple more things I noticed. Lane has to be clearly marked / painted, and it doesn’t like different tones of pavement, as if you have clear lanes, but patches and corrections with greys and blacks on the road, or a prior lane that was moved a bit, it gets confused.
That’s interesting that it’s finding it’s way onto trucks OTA. I totally agree with your assessment that a focused driver is better. It does have its places to shine for sure. I think those long trips, and sitting in bumper to bumper stop and go is where it really has value.
Absolutely, just the adaptive cruise alone, takes stress off me, as I like you, get anxious. Definitely helps me chill a bit more, but love having both options and updates might improve the experience over time.
I am excited about this. I have a 21 F150 XLT with adaptive cruise control and the 360 assist so assist does the lane centering and it drives me nuts how it tells me sometimes I'm not driving even when I am. So I was looking forward to finding a teenage computer geek that could hack my car to leave it on all the time. sounds like fords done it for me. Can't wait
Do you have the A-pillar and dashboard cameras on your truck? I couldn't really tell from the video. It's my understanding you need both for the blue cruise to work. Is that right?
Thanks Dan for another informative video. So, I have a question and a comment. When the F150 reduces speed using adaptive cruise control (as in rush hour traffic) do the brake lights activate; does it alert the driver behind you? Additionally, when the lane centering bounces you from one side of the lane to the other I’m concerned that I will make drivers (especially truckers) behind me, and wanting to pass, nervous. Have you noticed that they give you a wide birth?
The brake lights do in fact light up when the cruise control hits the brakes. The lane bouce isn't that bad, I haven't noticed any drivers giving a wide birth. But I keep my hands on the wheel. I am not the OP btw.

Just got home from driving 900 interstate miles where 95% was hands free in my Navigator. It's a game changer. Definitely going to trade my 2006 diesel F350 (125K miles) and my 2017 Jeep Wrangler (35K miles) for an F150 with Blue Cruise. Blue Cruise cuts the frustrations of driving tremendously. I'm sold. And it will only get better from here.

I found that lane-centering while towing (a cargo trailer in my case) was wearying because it tended to "swim" down the road, probably responding to the trailer forces, and the motion it applies to the wheel to make sure your hands are still on makes the feature generally unsatisfactory. Adaptive cruise already takes at least half the hassle out of driving.

I've driven thousands of miles in Auto Pilot both on highways and minor roads and as long as there are painted lines anywhere in the US it can handle near any road completely.

The owner never said he was getting 21 mpg while towing an 8,000 lb trailer. The towing clip you saw was from when I was towing it back to the shop empty. When towing a water trailer to a job site you fill it 100% then when towing back you drain it empty so your not hauling a slack tank.

I agree with everything you said. I'm thinking of a Class Action law suit to get Ford to refund all the owners who paid the 900+ dollars to have the the hardwareon place for a feature they aren't giving us. I am so mad and hate my Powerboost. I just did a road trip to Moab from Olympia WA 2900 miles and I got 12.5MPG...
For the same reason they wanted power steering, automatic transmissions, power windows, cruise control, radios, heated seats, or any other nicety since cars have been evolving by year over year.

Bluecruise is disabled when you plug in trailer on 2023 but works on 2021 lariat. Ford dealership can’t figure it out or give me explanation why it doesn’t work as soon as I plug in my trailer. Can someone help me?
That eye tracking thing creeeps me out and no way will I buy a truck with that
No way that owner is getting 21mpg towing 8,000 lbs. Liar liar pants 👖 on fire 🔥.
The owner never said he was getting 21 mpg while towing an 8,000 lb trailer. The towing clip you saw was from when I was towing it back to the shop empty. When towing a water trailer to a job site you fill it 100% then when towing back you drain it empty so your not hauling a slack tank.
If you can't use the Bluecruise while towing, I don't think it's worth the $600.

I agree with everything you said. I'm thinking of a Class Action law suit to get Ford to refund all the owners who paid the 900+ dollars to have the the hardwareon place for a feature they aren't giving us.
I am so mad and hate my Powerboost.
I just did a road trip to Moab from Olympia WA 2900 miles and I got 12.5MPG...
Why exactly does anyone want hands free?
For the same reason they wanted power steering, automatic transmissions, power windows, cruise control, radios, heated seats, or any other nicety since cars have been evolving by year over year.
