Lane Centering and Stop n Go availability on Braptor?

[BigMeatsBronco]

Haven't seen anything about this so I thought I would start a thread and ask?

You actually WANT those things???

Yes it has lane assist, which I don't use. It has adaptive cruise, which I cant seem to turn it to normal cruise like I could on my F-150. Do not know if you can come to a stop and then go with it. If I get in heavy traffic moving under 40 I turn it off.

Lane assist is NOT the same, on my FE it feels like I just bounced back and forth between the lines. Lane centering is supposed to keep the vehicle centered between the lanes.

Then no, neither is on the Raptor. Mine has the LUX package

I won’t have my Bronco w/ LUX for a couple more weeks so I can’t speak to the Bronco - but the wife’s Cherokee has lane centering and it bounces back and forth like you describe. We keep it turned off.

It will pull you back if you leave the lane, then pull you back when you leave the other side. But the corrections increase with each time it does and it only takes about 2 or 3 bounces until the angle of attack is so steep that it just can’t correct and you would go sailing off the road if you don’t manually take control. So only really useful for 1 - maybe 2 - veers close to the lane markers.

I just assumed that’s how well the technology worked these days (which is to say “not very well”).

Guess I’ll soon see if Bronco is any better but not expecting much.

Unrelated side note about “self driving” technology these days: Her Jeep also has the automatic park feature. Press a button and the jeep will park itself. Either ”nose in” or parallel park. And it actually works quite well. It’s pretty cool. But we NEVER use it. Why? Well, I don’t need it as I can park just fine (either style). And while she has refused to ever learn how to parallel park so one would think she would use it….she don’t trust the damn thing! So she wont. She sticks to what she’s done all her life - keep driving around the block until she can find a spot that doesn’t require parallel parking. In the 3 years she’s owned it the only time that feature has been used is when I‘m driving and want to demonstrate it to a friend riding along with us.

Broncos get a neutered version of Co-Pilot. Lane Keep Assist, but no Active Lane Centering. Standard ACC but not Intelligent ACC

 

[vrtical]

yeah the Lane Keep Assist is goofy but at least you can configure it or just turn it off. I don't have LUX so I don't have to deal with Active Lane Centering, that just sucks where I live lol.

You are mistaking LKA and lane centering. Your car ping pongs because it is supposed to prevent you from leaving the lane by accident not steer for you.

"Angle of attack " yes!

No, active lane centering and stop-and-go ACC are not available on the Bronco. A mid-cycle refresh may add these features later, but that's just speculation on my part.

Grand Cherokee?

The 23 has Active driving Assist, its freaking amazing.

I so dearly miss ACC that I had in my Ranger that was $7k less than my bronco...

It's a 2019 Cherokee Trailhawk. She's about ready for a new one this year or next so I'll be sure to test drive the newer models and see how much they've improved.

But since ordering my Bronco...she's thinking of switching to the Bronco Sport now for her next car. We'll see. If I have just HALF the problems with my Bronco that I'm reading here from others - that will most likely scare the shit out of her to never step foot on a Ford lot again

Curious if the ranger you mentioned had multiple drive modes (goat modes)?
