Stopping Big Brother

[broncobuster]

Has anyone put black tape over both of the bluecruise cameras that look at your eyes to see if you are sleeping or distressed...I did not subscribe and never will...but always wonder when they will just turn on the cameras without my knowledge and maybe shut down the engine or not let it go into gear for some reason like maybe in 2027 ??

There’s only one camera and it can only manage to keep about 15 seconds of video before it runs out of memory so it’s only used in the event of a crash. It’s not tied to any logic for shutting down the engine or preventing driving outside of inattentiveness when Blue Cruise is on which slows the vehicle to 5 mph and puts the hazards on. Your easiest solution is to reference the other F150 forum for info on how to disable it through ForScan. And if you’re still concerned you can remove the hardware and send it to me, I wouldn’t mind trying to retrofit it for fun.
