Driver Alert Hates Me

[Hank42]

Does your truck yell at you when NOT using BlueCruise? Say when using regular cruise or lane centering?

Thankfully no!

I do see value of driver assist features like blue cruise, supercruise, FSD, Etc...
On the Ford, with BlueCruise enabled, it shifts one mental workload for another and they are not equal - meaning, on a long trip, it takes some of the driving workload away from me, but that is swapped for the anxiety and stress of waiting to be yelled at!

I don't experience that anxiety with my Tesla - but the Tesla is not a Ford F150 and doesn't fit my normal daily use case. (Don't even get me started about the CT! )

So, I find it interesting how different manufactures have similar requirements for drivee attention, but have drastically different implementations.

I'd be happy to sign a waiver of liability if they'd turn down the naniness!

Stuck one of these on. Little bulky but got rid of the constant nag on straightaways when using regular hands-on.

You using 1 or 2 pound ones?
Do you leave them on 24/7 or just when travel? TIA

1 lb. I just leave it on since I mainly drive with my left hand so it doesn't get in the way.
