Yea, traffic sucks, and I think traffic is eventually going to push people to adopt cars with dynamic radar cruise control systems (that support stop-and-go traffic / low-speed follow). I have such a car (the Toyota Prius Prime), and driving any other regular car in heavy traffic has become insufferable.
- jedberg 8y agoI have one of those too but I find that it's only useful in light traffic. Anything more and it likes to slam on the brakes anytime someone merges into the lane. They still need to work on that software a bit.
- irq 8y agoBMW's latest rev of this tech (they call it 'active cruise control') has an adjustable sensitivity for brake response. Default setting is very good; it only slams on the brakes if it absolutely has to, otherwise it's a gradual response. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good.
