- elil17 3y agoI'm driving a Honda. I looked it up and people online say that it has the same issue. However, I plan to observe for myself.
- brewdad 3y agoNow I'm curious about my Volvo. I do most of my freeway driving with the adaptive cruise control adjusting my speed to match the flow of traffic. I have no idea if my brake lights are triggering when the ACC slows my vehicle due to a slower car in front of me. I certainly am not touching the brake, unless I need to stop more quickly. Given Volvo's reputation for safety, I'm assuming they got it right but that is purely assumption on my part.
- rootusrootus 3y agoMy guess is that most decent TACC implementations won't activate the brake lights when slowing for a car in front, unless that car cuts you off. Generally the deceleration should be slow enough that it falls under 'engine braking' levels and therefore unworthy of a brake light.
