Big difference between hands free interstate and full on urban self driving. Hands free interstate is ready for the masses, urban driving is still a huge work in progress. However if no one uses the urban driving features it will never get better.My experience with the Tesla autonomous driving system is limited to being a passenger in my friends’ car this past summer. They showed me the autonomous driving thing, and while it was prettycrazy from the future, it also had its limits with things like “the paint is no good” and “stop sign? What stop sign? I also don’t acknowledge that there is an intersection here.” This was in a small business district in suburban Pennsylvania that wasn’t totally decrepit, but there was a little bit of faded paint on the roads. It both was and wasn’t awe-inspiring that it could steer itself, but still needed constant vigilance such that you might as well disable the feature if you need to babysit it. It seems that way to me, at least. Maybe that’s not the case when in use?

From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.
Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.
How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.
Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.
So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.
We are Scout Motors.
The problem with BC is fords software, the vehicle is perfectly capable. I’ve gone over 4 hours hands free before (west Texas). Here are some trends of a more difficult drive (Houston to BR)
OpenPilot on the F-150 (BlueCruise alternative)
For me it works one time. Start out 40mph speed limit. Speed limit increases to 45, SP receives the new speed from the truck and adjusts. Speed limit increases to 50mph, truck sees it, no update in SP, still running 45. Speed increases to 55. Truck sees it, SP does not receive it. Still...
