I get a lot of advantage out of one-pedal driving in a Model S in stop and go, both urban and highway. One thing that makes me sad about Tesla's adaptive cruise control is that it's not as good as I am at never touching the real brakes -- it doesn't anticipate very well, and waits until it gets within 2-3 car-lengths (settable) before it even thinks about braking.

Yeah, I was on 880 and I saw a Tesla doing that. I knew it wasn't a human decision. It was too precise and at the same time unnecessarily disconcerting. A human would have been less precise but would have dipped in speed well before 2-3 car lengths and probably would have taken the opportunity to zip around the car in front.
