Cruise control issue

[commadorebob]

Of all the smart cruise features, speed limit assist is the only one I don't use. Driving at the speed limit through Birmingham will get you run over. I'm fine with it slowing me down due to traffic. What the sign says and what is safe are generally two different things.

The sign reading isn't ready for use.

It reads a lower limit when children present sign as that limit every single time. It will also sometimes read the freeway speed from a frontage road, or vice versa.

Well - check the settings too, for sensitivity on that emergency braking.

Brakes are only supposed to be auto-applied if it thinks impact is imminent.
Ya, 4 feet would fit that bill since system can't tell that quickly if it's moving.

By locking up you mean skidding like no ABS was working?
Or locking up you mean brakes like max applied?

Max applied. In the moment, it seemed exactly like I stomped on the brakes. 60 to 30 in a flash, nearly getting rear ended. But to my recollection the tires only squeezed briefly, so they weren’t locked up. Good point.
