Curious if anyone received this update yet regarding the hands free driving “reliability” and what the experience has been like before and after.

This is downloading tonight for me…

I didn’t think any F-150 Raptors had a hands free feature, aka BlueCruise. I wonder if 21’s will have it now, since they are the only year to have the BlueCruise hardware installed…

installed last night. Didn’t notice anything different today. Tried the cruise control and lane keeping, felt the same to me. Turned it off and went about my day.
What I was thinking would happen is the “jiggle” of the steering wheel would either be increased or reduced to keep the cruise and lane center active. I was hoping they didn’t make a change to compensate for the paddle weight available for true hands free. That works amazingly by the way.

Agreed on the paddle weight. It basically makes it hands free. I read some people say it makes them put hands on the wheel less often but in my experience I never had to put my hands back on the wheel with this weight

Update: so I tested it on a small straight tonight and noticed the warning is now a symbol in the middle of the screen of a red vehicle and the tone is different. It no longer gives you a yellow then red warning.

I need to see if the immediate now red symbol warning means it’s being deactivated or if it just eliminated the yellow warning and is now going straight to red.

Either way, I’m not sure the notes in the update of making it more reliable is accurate.

I’ll report back anything else I notice.

Reason why I turn off 'updates'. Also reason why I don't use lane keep assistance--turn it off it's annoying. If you can't keep your truck in a lane don't drive.
