Like or Dislike Adaptive Cruise Control?

[buzzleo]

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 like it except when it puts the brakes on going down even a small hill. Just let it coast.......seems like it's controlling the speed too closely.

Love it. Easy to cancel and re-establish it with the button. You just have to learn to anticipate what it's going to do in tricky situations. I use it everywhere but I'm not located in a city.

Like it on open highway, but do find times when it drops the speed subtly and realize I'm creeping along behind someone much slower than i wanted. In heavy traffic, I just turn it off- too annoying. Have had it brake hard when someone cuts over in front of me but is no real threat. Definitely have to have the distance set to the shortest distance option. Not good or bad, it is what it is...
