I’ve rented cars with adaptive cruise. Though I generally like it, the one challenge I had with it almost caused an accident.
To wit, I was behind a truck in the right lane and as soon as the next car passed me in the passing lane I pulled in behind him. I tend to do it with a foot or two between us, especially with a car going much faster than me. My car slammed on the brakes and I almost lost control - because it was utterly unanticipated by me, the driver. In fact, I thought something was defective until I thought it through and realized what had happened. The car just saw that bumper in front and said, “AHHH! We’re all gonna die! I’m too young to die!” And pretty much slammed on the brakes.
Yeah. If you’re going to, if you need to do some aggressive driving, turn off the adaptive cruise control. ACC.
