FORD BLUECRUISE 1.0 VS. 1.3 ON MUSTANG MACH-E

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides a comprehensive comparison of Ford's BlueCruise 1.0 and the updated 1.3 version on a 2022 Mustang Mach-E. Key improvements in 1.3 include enhanced lane centering, more confident lane positioning when passing large vehicles, and a more seamless lane change capability initiated by the turn signal stalk. The reviewer notes the system feels more stable and less prone to minor steering corrections. While the update is significant compared to 1.0, the reviewer expresses reservations about the subscription pricing ($75/month or $800/year) given their limited use case and the long wait (two years) for this major update. They suggest Ford needs to demonstrate more frequent updates to justify ongoing costs. The reviewer anticipates future advancements, potentially reaching Level 3 autonomy by 2026, but emphasizes that current iterations are still far from fully autonomous driving.
