Fully sponsored post and an "active service plan" both makes me a little sad.

"This video is sponsored by Ford" That tells you everything you need to know.

I was out at "active service plan".

This feels like a advertisement.

I canceled my Blue Cruise subscription because everytime my Mach E went around a turn, it would bounce between the lines trying to center itself and then deactivate the blue cruise because it was bouncing to much left to right. You did not have this issue?

I hit the blinker with my hands, but still hands free.

So it almost works on all “controlled access highways” and it somehow beat Tesla FSD that works on all roads, including parking lots? Good to see Consumer Reports isn’t at all biased. We know who’s going to have door to door hands free driving first and it certainly isn’t Ford.

The fact that people think this is a review when "This video is sponsored by ford" scares me. Like do people even read?

Level 10, shit drives you to heaven.

He lost me at consumer reports 😂😂

“Consumer reports says it’s number one!” Hahahahahahahahahahaha

In my opinion, OpenPilot still outperforms Super Cruise (GM) and Blue Cruise, but falls behind Tesla's.

"Blue cruise is not overbearing overbearing either . . . I can look away and . . . or adjust the music on the radio" "Ding dong. You are wrong dude, I'm overbearing"

You can get this same automated driving feeling on public transport

Tons of videos out of people driving Tesla's latest Tech on FSD 12.3 and it is absolutely mind-blowing. While it isn't 100% it appears so close. I have watched 7 or 8 videos of people driving around, including Uber drivers and such, and it is just crazy how far this has come

"Blue zones" What a joke.

Congrats on the new facility!

BlueCruise is great unless you were an early adopter. We’re stuck with the scary v1.0 that likes to hug the wrong side of the lane. I’ve actually taken mirror damage b/c of this. Ford corp if you see this, you need to help us early adopters…we know there is no HW limitation.

It means more lawsuits 😂

That doesn’t seem very useful to only be able to use on interstate highways. Heck I can do more with my Volvo. I’d rather have a Tesla

Bro is just yapping 😂😂

The advantage of being able to take your hand off the wheel while still being completely responsible and unable to look away is what exactly? Like in a 20 hour drive your arms may start to get a little tired, but really, i get adaptive cruise control that maintains safe distance, but not sure why I want it working the wheel for me.

The truth is that you could have made those comments any other day/time and it would have just been a very good opinion but you chose to do it when you have a sponsored post already lined up ( Just doesn’t look good) 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why does the NHTSA not require Ford to “nag” the driver to touch the wheel, like in other ADAS?

2:40 Although I'm not a fan of Tesla and their monopolistic actions, or gimmick cars, it would be ignorant to be bashing on them regarding touching the steering wheel, as that was added as a consequence of irresponsible drivers that would just sleep (or worse) at the wheel.

You should at least say it’s sponsored it’s nothing better than adaptive cruise control that every car comes equipped since 2010

I’m not sure but what I do know is that glass is glass, and glass breaks; and that it often scratches at a level 6, with deeper grooves at a level 7

As for the Tesla comparison: since the system warns you when you take your eyes off the road, it makes no difference to rest your hands, which you keep in the air the whole time, lightly on the steering wheel. The result is the same, except that you don't have tired arms. Also, it only works on the highway, where the steering wheel only moves a few degrees, which is a huge difference. Furthermore, a Tesla also now monitors the eyes, which means that interaction with the steering wheel could theoretically be switched off. But this additional safety feature is more due to Tesla's pioneering work in self-driving and the resulting earlier NTSHA requirements.

Just like everyone else is saying about the timing of your Tweet & this video. It's nice that a "Level 2 system" is impressive when it's with Ford as your description says, but it's a massive problem when you name your system "FSD". Acting like Tesla didn't have it Hands Free at one point as well, as if it's not understandable as to why they would make it so you'd have to have your hands on the wheel. It just feels disingenuous. I have this question. If Tesla didn't bear the weight of introducing this technology, and pioneering the idea that self driving cars could be a thing, do you think the car you're driving right now with that "Hands Free" feature would be existent to this day? Tesla walked so other companies could run. I still believe the Tesla deserves a lot of credit for what they've done & arguing semantics on naming seems dumb. This feels more like a way for you to put down Tesla for being tied to Elon, rather then a genuine critique seeing as how many holes can be poked through your bias towards each self driving technology.

Please try FSD v.12.3 and compare the two!!

This seems like a paid promotion. Can anyone confirm?

Having to pay monthly to not touch your steering wheel with cruise control (like wvery other car has) is insane

I use it all the time. It freaks out my wife and the kids every time 🤣

Halfway though at the lane change and worth mentioning (if you dont) that the lane change feature isn't available for all vehicles w/ BC. My lightning doesn't have it yet, the mach-e was the first. Ford says itll come as a software update but new feature releases are pretty slow.

6:43 I love the way car manufacturers keep on innovating most especially on this self driving... We used these staff in movies but now they are present in our lives Thank you !

I recently drove my mach e gt from nyc to Minnesota and used Blue Cruise for about 85% of the drive

At first I was like bruh why is this whole video just an ad - but then at the end he shows his new warehouse/factory for the wheelchairs - all of the sponsorships like this one just goes to helping people that need it and I think thats nice

Regardless of the level, Tesla cars can at least drive on unmapped routes though. 🤷‍♂️ On routes no Tesla cars have ever been. I’ll take that any day.

It’s definitely a joy to have, I travel about 71 miles one way for work. And 90 percent of that drive most days is blue cruise, it does a pretty good job staying in the lane and not bouncing around. But what it does that have me nervous at times, it’s when we’re taking a curve it’s keeping the same speed instead of slowing down. It’s been said, there’s anew software update coming, so change lanes, slowing down and moving over etc. I have a 2022 Mach-E and haven’t received it, can’t wait till I do. Because it will definitely get put to work, if I haven’t made it clear, I love it!😂 love the content, peace and blessings ✊🏿.

Lol my 2018 Nissan wants hands on but it does all the driving. It's great and also came with the vehicle. No additional plan required

The thumbnail looks like an MKBHD autofocus video 😂

first time i drove a tesla model y with autopilot, had no idea what was its capabilities, also i had my heart racing. almost got into a crash because it was confused about missing lanes in LA. now, knowing its capabilities, i feel comfortable. but key is keeping eyes on the road. you dont want to run over something that the autopilot doesnt pick up and ruin your motors and battery (yup, done that too, except autopilot wasn't even engaged)

Boy...those American alps behind Zack sure are stunning 😍 ...I love cruise control, I love adaptive cruise control and I'm sure I'd love self-driving (but my car is 12 years old so I haven't had the pleasure 😄)

scratches as a level 2, deeper grooves at a level 3

Looks nice enough on that freeway, but some of the other ones I've been on there's just no way I could ever trust it.

I'm a big fan of the GM SuperCruise, which is basically the same, except it will auto do lane changes if you desire for it to do so. I've made several 3+ hour long trips and only needed to drive when changing roads. It will pass slower vehicles then move back over to the lane you started in once the pass is complete and it's safe to do so. They aren't perfect systems, but I'm enjoying mine!

Honestly this is a GAME CHANGER for me with my disabilities. I’ve been waiting for this tech to get better for a long time.

"i don't normally drive with this much recording during my commute but, after seeing how some of you drive, maybe i should" wow i feel called out... It's true but just hurts man 😂 j/k love your videos! Keep up the awesome stuff.

It's interesting the way they found to know if you're sleeping or not.

No way in hell would i ever recommend this, and that sucks because im overall really excited for this tech, but the problem is multiple people have reported bluecruise randomly turning the wheel to the side on the freeway and almost killing people (luckily they usually react and take control just in time). And of course when they share these experiences on the internet they get the typical internet answer of "well its still youre fault it says you need to be ready to take control at any moment". So basically it almost always works, but it can AND MIGHT randomly try to kill you at any moment, and if it succeeds its your fault. Why would anyone want to use it then? Having to be ready to narrowly evade death at any moment is more stressful then just driving

I allowed the trial to expire on Blue Cruise on my MME only because I primarily do city driving. I did use it for some hour drives and it's definitely a fatigue easing tool for interstate driving. This is especially true for when you come up to congestion. The Adaptive cruise does a good job of relieving the driver of having to maintain spacing and yes, the lane change is great to have. If I were commuting on a freeway or interstate, it would be a huge stress saver.

Why is this on this channel and not on Fords? Like this is just an ad lmao

The best way I'd describe level 2 especially in a te sla, is like being in the car with a learner driver, it is nerve racking and more stressful than normal driving, as they will do bizarre things and you'll have to take the wheel as soon as something slightly unexpected happens

Bluecruise for some reason just reminded me of blues clues bringing back some great memories 🤣🤣

I have a Kia and a Hyundai that do pretty much the same thing, you just have to keep a hand on the wheel. Doesn't automatically change lanes, but if you hit the turn signal it will change lanes for you. Free and included in the car cost.

Subaru does the same thing, it is not a subscription service, it has lane control, speed based on those ahead, its basically blue cruise but better.

Can someone tell me what happened to the underground bunker series, The last upload was months ago.

#1. This video was sponsored by Ford. #2. This technology is a dinosaur compared to Tesla's full self driving. They aren't even in the same universe.

I own a Kia K5, the car driving by at 3:40 and 5:35. It has active cruise control which does everything Zach mentioned but it's not completely hands free. It doesn't have an eye tracking system so it requires you to keep your hands on the wheel but you can take it off for a minute without it beeping. The car can make turns and change lanes without hands and it is relatively pretty safe. Edit: also it's not a subscription.

Just seeing those mountains in the background is wild...

Been able to do this with my knees for years 😂😂

"We've Been Trying To Reach You About Your Car's Extended Warranty"

The way he's positioning his hands tells you he doesn't believe in the whole thing.

Blue cruise works pretty well, but I notice that when the speed limit changes it sometimes decides to accelerate up to speeds as high as 80MPH for no apparent reason. Then I have to set the cruise speed back down towards the speed limit.

I had a 2022 Mustang mach e with Blue Cruise, it was super cool, and it made 4 hour highway trips super easy. Had to get hit by an old lady, tho. Just wish it would allow us to use the cameras as a dash cam

Yeah drive with your knee mate, my my homie used to do it while he rolled

Hi there, would be good if you tried comma ai system that allows any car with lane keep assist to turn into level 2 self driving. They have been around for quite few years now and the software openpilot keeps improving

What impress me the most is how car manufacturers just delivery the bare minimum possible with a lot of dont do it and call it a deal breaker to buy this bare minimum product. I am not even talking about active subscription plan......

I'm partially disabled and driving used to be a joy for me, but I'd now kill for a fully automatic driving system that could take me from point a to point b.

"there are currently 5 levels of automated driving" one that ISN'T automated driving and one that doesn't EXIST

Not a fan of having infra red light shining into my eyes for hours while I’m driving but I understand the need

I have both autopilot in my Tesla and Blue Cruise in my lightning. I honestly prefer Blue Cruise because of the hands off. Lightning doesn't have lane change yet. Ford's adaptive lane centering is more like basic autopilot. IMHO the big advantage ford has is that you can change lanes without turning the system on and off as in the Tesla.

What does "active service plan" even mean? It means you don't own your car.

It looked so perfect and well done but after looking at the comments I feel sad 😭😂

My question is if the feature is worth the price tag. Standby driving only on interstate roads seems like both a restriction that means the vast majority of the average person's drive time wouldn't be covered, and that what portion is covered it doesn't really provide much quality of life. That little of a benefit is then locked behind both an expensive up front cost in the car itself paired with an ongoing cost in a subscription makes the product a non-stater for anyone who isn't a tech-enthusiast.

As I watch this video in my Mach E I have to say, the car itself is an incredible ride. The blue cruise is decent at best but the automation isn’t user friendly. Long drives are troublesome. You have to maintain eye contact straight forward the entire time. Even though things happen all around you. You can’t drive with one hand either. The one hand on the top of the wheel blocks the camera and loses contact with your eyes. So you have to reposition. But even with that said the battery is the biggest downfall of this vehicle. Advertises 430km to a charge but I don’t really get anything near that in long drives. I often only get half of that… Again, love the car but the battery and infrastructure are lacking remarkably still. Great vid Jerry!

For Lincoln: Owner's manual? 🤔

This is like Tesla autopilot was like prior to all the updates that alert you constantly. Don’t get me started on “full self driving” either

My 2021 Toyota Corolla can do this. I just turn on lane keep assist and adaptive cruise, and I have a small lead weight with a rubber band so it thinks I'm touching the wheel. Only had a couple scary moments with it in probably over 10k Highway miles using it

did i miss something where he talked about getting a bigger building for the wheelchair business? thats way cooler than some active subscription plan on an overpriced car

i cant imagine someone getting comfortable with this and trying it on like an old honda or something

14k likes and 5k dislikes. It’s obvious people are noticing how you crapped on Tesla FSD in a few tweets before you made this video.

So our braincells have a "bandwidth" now, Zach - good one. 😂 👍

Can you please make a video on a heat pump dryer? I really do not care to know how it functions. I just wanna know if it dries.

So basically the same thing Tesla has had for basic autopilot for the past 6+ years

Bluecruise is an interesting name

It would be nice if this actually worked. Living in Los Angeles, I am unable to use BlueCruse for more than 30 seconds on the interstate before the car tells me to resume control. It would be fantastic in Los Angeles slow and go traffic. Unfortunately, it just isn't "there" yet. Other than that, I love my '22 Mach-e after 27,000 miles.

I don't think when hardware is enabled you should be charged a fee just to use it. That said when using it does this affect battery life more? Ie does it take less power to drive manually therefore more battery life??

This is embarrassing.

Look mom, no hands!

this sounds like a lot of R&D just to build a far more expensive & stressful Bus/Taxi congrats on the new Facility tho, now that's good use of R&D

Also, will it scratch at level 6 with deeper groves at level 7?

2016 - Elon Musk announces L5 autonomous inside the next year. 2024 - Ford is a leader in the pack with L2 autonomous driving. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

You should mention if this video is sponsored or not

bluecruise always has the driver seat centered in the lane, not just when theres a car on the left side. It actually makes you a little too close on the right side

I think the Mercedes EQS could do level 3 automatic driving a comparison between the two would be nice

Imagine showing off 5 + year old Tech that Tesla has been doing forever lol

Tesla blows this out of the water

I think aircraft autopilot are the equivalent of level 2. I dont think fully autonomous driving will be safe unless the conditions are perfect. Ie: Perfect road maintenance, no glitch in the software, any hardware failure.

Your daily commute to the work is just breathtaking. Utah is beautiful.
