Am I the only person around here who uses cruise control? Like all the time. Set it for 5 over, and I'm good. With adaptive cruise control, it will even slow you down when the guy in front is going slower.
My problem with ACC is that it makes traffic worse. A competent driver can look 500 feet up the road and think "oh, brake lights, I can literally just coast down and we'll be going the same speed when they start moving again." But ACC only looks at the car in front of you, so you get this constant accelerate and brake cycle that ripples backwards. Like on open road its fine, as long as you keep the following distance at a reasonable level, but I swear every asshole with a late model SUV keeps theirs set on tailgate mode, and it means any slowdown turns into stop and go
Edit: also cc is hella inefficient and will chew up a good 10% of your fuel economy on hilly terrain. If you set and forget it's basically an "I would like to pay more money to the oil company please" button
I don't know if that's universal for ACC, mine will gradually slow down with traffic as long as I don't have the follow distance set to the minimum. The only times it hard brakes is when someone cuts me off or if the car(s) ahead slam on their brakes, but even in that case it will try to slow down as gradually as it can while eating up that gap.
Also, on hilly terrain it will allow a fair deviation from the set speed before it will try to accelerate/brake more aggressively (usually +/- 5-10 km/h).
Not in a hybrid with Hill Descent Control. That's just more juice in the battery.
That's cheating :P
It's the future!
My car originally had that, but one day it came back from the service appointment at the dealership and that was no longer available. Software update removed that, probably because too many people were falling asleep thanks to that and the lane assist shit.
I almost got very messed up in a rental car using that. I was on a fairly tight winding road just West of Klamath Falls in Oregon. There was a concrete barrier median, the roadway, while fast was very 3 dimensional. I was overtaking a logging truck to my right with afternoon sun creating a ton of broken light (really pretty honestly). But the adaptive cruise got messed up with everything going on and did a hard braking when I absolutely didn't expect and was very much not convenient to keep control. The brakes were worn so it tried to dive to the right, toward the semi. It was very memorable.
