In my experience - a car with both adaptive cruise and auto emergency braking: it handles the situation quite well, but the human driver (i.e. me) uses hints that the autonomous systems cannot, such as brake lights coming on ahead. The auto systems take a second or two longer to react.
- slfnflctd 8y agoI've driven a rental with those features as well, and in my experience at least the Prius version is almost a little oversensitive to brake lights. In adaptive cruise mode, I've had it kind of slam the car's brakes pretty hard just because another car not even in my lane tapped their brakes to make an exit. Of course, I'm not going to test it against stationary objects at high speeds, but at low speeds it definitely gives escalating warnings before you hit the door or wall of a garage. As someone who dented a garage door once, I value this feature.
