I have not had any luck finding anything about this. So I thought I would reach out to the group.
I have an ecoboost with copilot 360. This has happened twice. As I am driving down the road, both times 2 lane rural highway at 55 mph+, not using cruse control. I get a series of 5 quick beeps. No indication on the dash of an issue. No issues with driving. I have looked through the manual and done some google searches, all to no avail. Any ideas? It's freaking my wife out.

Update. I think it may have something to do with the blind spot detection system. Both instances I had been towing a trailer earlier in the day. Today, I actually got a text that blind spot detection may not be working. I had towed a trailer earlier in the day but wasn't towing at the time. Also, the App had a notice about the blind spot detection system.

Second Update: OK I feel like a fool. I put a TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) on my camper tires. I forgot to turn it off the monitor in the truck when I disconnected the trailer. It was the TPMS not able to find the sensors. It went off when the truck was not even turned on......

Is it possible that someone pulled over into your lane going significantly slower than you? I don't have my Maverick yet, but my Fusion Hybrid with CoPilot360 has done that several times - took a bit to figure out it was the collision avoidance system. And on the Fusion, it also flashes five BRIGHT red dots on the windshield (heads up display) - first time I saw that was a freak out for sure.

The Escape my girlfriend drives has the blind spot things go off if there are tall weeds on the side of the country road we live on. Also every time you pull in the garage. Or pull up to the mail box close enough to get the mail. Certain noises drive me crazy and that's one of them. Wouldn't even have ordered a Maverick if you couldn't get it without 360.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.
