In traffic is where traffic aware cruise control is most useful. A lot of people I knew who bought Tesla's in the bay area specifically bought it so their commutes would be less stressful with the bumper to bumper traffic. I drove 3000+ miles across the country last year with > 90% of it on AP and I was way less tired with AP on vs off and it allowed me to just stay focused on the road and look out for any issues.
- ghaff 5y agoYes. I was (explicitly) talking about traditional "dumb" cruise control. I haven't used adaptive cruise control but I agree it sounds more useful than traditional cruise control once you get above minimal traffic.
- int_19h 5y agoOne thing worth noting about Subaru's approach to this that is specifically relevant to bumper-to-bumper traffic, is that it will stop by itself, but it won't start moving by itself - the driver needs to tap the accelerator for that. It will warn you when the car in front starts moving, though.
