Like or Dislike Adaptive Cruise Control?

I would never purchase a vehicle that does NOT have ACC.

I don't use it for short freeway trips, but on longer ones, I love it.

It is terrible and I leave it off on all my vehicles. Two days ago my opinion was reaffirmed when I had to drive a vehicle about 500 miles that had it on and it almost caused a wreck within the first 40 miles when someone casually merged into my lane and as I am moving over to the left lane it SLAMS on the brakes unnecessarily right as I am starting to get over. I made sure the sensitivity was all the way down rry to keep going with it on and ended up pulling over to turn it off. It is probably a great feature for bad/lazy/distracted/intoxicated drivers, anyone that has better things to do than to be an active and attentive driver.

Well said. I feel this way about most all the so-called "safety" features that are being forced on us. It would be easier to actually learn to drive than master the electronic doodads....

Just wondering what other people thought about, (ACC) Adaptive Cruise Control

I don't like Adaptive Cruise Control. Twice driving down to TN cruising at 70mph some idiot would pull in front of me at a close distance and ACC would jam on the brakes, I tighten the distance and it still happened.

Or if you're coming up on a slow moving car it will throw the anchor out right about the time you're sliding over into the left lane to pass.

A vehicle should only do what I tell it to do, when I tell it to do it.

I had it i an old LAndcruiser, switched it off right away, I think WE need to drive !!!
