WHO DOES IT BEST? FORD BLUECRUISE VS TESLA AUTOPILOT

EV Channels Review

This video pits Ford's BlueCruise against Tesla's Autopilot, testing their capabilities on the same routes. The reviewer finds BlueCruise to be a smooth and confidence-inspiring system, particularly praising its lane-changing functionality and ability to handle complex situations like large obstacles. However, the significant subscription cost ($2100 for three years) is a major drawback, especially when compared to Autopilot's inclusion with every Tesla. A key limitation of BlueCruise is its restriction to "approved roads," which the reviewer experienced firsthand when the system became unavailable on a standard highway. Tesla's Autopilot, while not offering automatic lane changes in its base form, is praised for its ubiquity, working on virtually any road. The reviewer notes that while Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) has more advanced capabilities, its high cost ($15,000) and lack of transferability make it a poor value proposition. Ultimately, the reviewer declares the systems a "tie" in terms of core performance on the tested routes, but gives Autopilot the edge due to its broader usability and inclusion with the vehicle purchase.
