My subaru’s adaptive cruise control has been pretty amazing. I still have to do most of the steering, but that’s probably a good thing in terms of keeping me engaged. I can easily go hundreds of miles from stop and go to 80 and cruising without touching the gas though.
- avar 9y agoI spent all of 5 hours in a new Subaru Outback I rented this summer and wasn't impressed. I could set the cruise control to a certain speed and it would normally slow down if there was congestion, which was very nice. But it wouldn't work at bends in the road, because the system was seemingly just directly ahead line-of-sight. I wanted to see if it would slow down itself in that situation before I had to slam the breaks, it would have plowed into the much slower-moving car ahead of me. So my experience is that while these systems help in bumper-to-bumper traffic on congested highways they're still to dangerous to rely on.
- rconti 9y agoHuh, I have relatives who really love the system in their outback. I know the system in my VW impeccably follows cars in front of it, in bad weather, at imprudent speeds, around sharp bends, perfect.
