If I tap the left blinker it changes lane and recenters.

I think it's safe to say, if you don't have the auto lane change feature yet, you don't have BC 1.4.

Uh, no. Assisted lane change was a feature of 1.2 and is standard on 2024 trucks. @Radar you have BC 1.2 from the factory.

The 2025 Mach-E comes with BC 1.5 which has Automatic lane change. You don't tap the blinker, it changes with no input from you.

BC Versions (in the FAQ here):
BlueCruise 1.0 – Builds on available Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering to add hands-free driving capabilities on prequalified sections of divided highways called hands-free Blue Zones.

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.

BlueCruise 1.5 – Adds new Automatic Lane Change feature, which enhances the hands-free highway driving experience by smoothly and seamlessly initiating an automatic lane change to help keep you moving at the speed of traffic.

Wait.. That link says basically all Lightnings just have BC 1.0, except for 2024 and newer have 1.2, and none of them have been updated since release? (As opposed to the MME's which have been getting updates)

That is correct.
However some Early Access members have been updated to 1.4 so hopefully the testing will be positive and a general release to all trucks will follow.
I doubt they will update that table until 1.4 for Lightning is publicly announced.

Thanks to this guy on reddit:

Thanks! If I had not been looking for something else on here today I would not have seen your post. Updated just now! Greatly appreciated.

This worked originally but now seems to have fallen off my account. The option is there again and I clicked it though. Anyone else having same thing?

Mine still shows up as active and planning to renew for complimentary 12 months.

It says that now, but this morning it was just back to the normal expiry info with nothing about the $0 renew. Now that I went and 'purchased' it again, it seems ok.

Does this mean it will be another year before we get BC 1.4?

Are you EAP?

Only a few EAP owners with 2022s got it, then the rollout dried up before reaching my Lariat. Yes, I'm in EAP.
