Default Re: "Autonomous" Cars - here now?

Thanks for the above.

Ok, so what I don't understand is the difference between the braking and the radar cruise.

If I have the adaptive cruise set, won't it use the brakes to slow down? I just assumed than in modern cars it would all be integrated?

It's not that I would actually plan to snooze, but IMO the danger is learning to rely on a system, becoming relaxed such that my attention lessens, then the system fails. NB Suddenly having alarms blaring, and the brakes slam on, isn't that appealing either. Especially if the dill behind is paying attention.
