Not sure what kind of car you have, but that’s the way my wife’s car works too — aggressive braking to keep the gap. My Tesla is the only car I’ve used adaptive cruise control where it doesn’t freak out and brake when you get cut off. Instead, if the car that pulled in ahead of you is traveling at a higher speed, it just lets the gap grow naturally.
Now, of course I’ve still had it brake at shadows on the road, so it’s not perfect, but sometimes it works like I’d expect.
- al_borland 3y agoA VW GTI was where I had it happen a lot. I don’t have it anymore. I assume my new car works the same way, but after the VW I haven’t given it the chance. If someone merges while accelerating, the cruise control generally handled it ok. However, most of the time people merge, then speed up. During that first part, the car freaks out and slams on the brakes, and keeps on that course of action even as the car ahead speeds up. With the lead car speeding up, and mine going 50 when the new gap is correct, it ends up growing even bigger, so I then need to catch up. It makes me look like I can’t drive, lol.
