BlueCruise dead spots ?

[HOTAS]

I notice that a stretch of interstate I drive BlueCruise goes on/off over short spots. So I look up the charted map and see this…..
the map reflects where it goes in/out of Hands Free mode. Short spots all along this interstate, Why is it like this?

Do you have BC 1.4?

It could be other reasons of course but it looks like there are curves in the road. Same thing where I live but with BC 1.4 it now stays engaged during those gaps and in some cases even slows down the truck to navigate the curve.

I have noticed this on my portion of the drive. Certain curves arent mapped on the BC map. Regardless, my BC still stays engaged in those spots.

I have the lane change and lane reposition toggles, so I guess I have BC 1.4. Still not sure how to determine that with certainty.

But, those little mapping gaps just don’t make sense to me.
Seems like the system has room for improvement.

There's a spot on a regular drive where BC drops out for a short distance. It's annoying, but consistent. Oddly, the "dead spot" is a little longer in one direction than the other.

2024's came with BC 1.2 and have not gotten the 1.4 OTA. BC 1.2 has lane change assist but not the increased capability.

• BlueCruise 1.2 – Adds new features including In-Lane Repositioning (which can give you more space by subtly shifting away from vehicles in adjacent lanes) and Lane Change Assist (tapping your turn signal to initiate a hands-free lane change).
  
  
• BlueCruise 1.3 – Helps you stay engaged longer in hands-free mode by improving performance, with greater ability to navigate narrow lanes and curves.
  
  
• BlueCruise 1.4 – Delivers greater in-lane stability, while automatically and smoothly adjusting the vehicle’s speed in even more curves, allowing for more hands-free time and a more continuous drive.
