Default Re: Adaptive Cruise Control, am I the only one that feels its a gimmick?

I find it too intrusive in anything more than light traffic. The issue is it will slow you down as you approach a vehicle from behind, then intervene too early and before you know it you’re doing 95 in a 110kmh zone following the car in front, but as it’s intervened too early and you are a few Car lengths back you don’t realise you have slowed so much. once you pull out to overtake the car drops back a gear and will rev its teets off to get back up to speed. You will comfortably continue on until some jerk overtakes you and merges back in front too early and the car will decelerate to then maintain the pre set gap. Come to think of it I hate it lol. Prefer to drive without it
