This software is used across many vehicles besides the Mach E and could have been on one of those.
It might also just be part of the improvements they mentioned for android auto and car play. if they had to change anything with the phone side of the software it might have just been part of that.
This update seems to be focused on bringing all cars to have the same software and features where possible. Which in turn would make it easier to add that later (if it is something Ford is working on).
This really has my hopes up that what we are seeing here is an update that is going out to as many vehicles as possible to get them all on a similar software level so we can get better timely updates going forward. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Just received two updates today. First this morning was a generic update to prepare for updates.

Wanted to give one more thanks to @Mach-E VLOG and @Liv and @Ford Motor Company for hosting us in OKC! It was a really fun event and look forward to getting to attend more events like this!
I also won a light up GT emblem for my car!
I had one side fail (don't remember which side now) early on with my 2021. That basically kept the hood from staying open on its own. I think it failed in the first year. Dealer replaced and haven't had issues since.
It actually failed on me at one of the EV events and ended up using my metal...
