Getting used to letting Bluecruise take control of the truck behaviour on highway has been a real treat for me. I do appreciate the casual posture I can maintain while commuting on major highways and also letting the truck manage trafic around me.
I've had three severe wheel jolts due to sun interference, thankfully I was able to catch the steering wheel in time to bring the truck back into its lane. All three instances occurred while traveling off center to the sun, about 30 degree above horizon. I can determine that sensors were tricked to follow shade lines on the asphalt due to an overpass once, a truck that I was passing and tree shades also. Needless to say, the sensors made the truck severely turn in the direction of these objects (overpass protection wall, truck and towards tress).
Has this occurred to other users?

I’ve not experienced that. I have a 2021.

I had BC suddenly steer off course once last week. I didn't think about sun/shadows at the time. I just couldn't believe how jarring it was. Fortunately nobody next to me at the time. You do have to be ready to take over if it does something like that.

Mine was doing that for several weeks at the same location on the freeway and had an icon on the dash appear each time. It would just randomly decide it was going to leave the road like it was taking an exit instead of following the freeway. There was nothing that would have given the truck a reason to leave the lane other than a software or mapping issue. Eventually the truck would disengage Blue Cruise at that location for about a week and then it started working problem free.
