Default Re: Adaptive Cruise Control - a cautionary tale.

I've had a similar experience, actually. But in my experience, I've found that it never behaves unpredictably. Whenever it slams on the brakes, it does so because either a car has just merged into the gap in front of me, or I'm going around a slight bend while passing a slow moving car.

These days when I'm in a situation where the ACC could potentially slam on the brakes, I deactivate it temporarily.
