Cruise control out of control, found possible issue! Tolerance set to wrong value

[BobU]

You have to be carful when you use the Intelligent Speed Limiter Button when you are using the Adaptive Cruise Control.

I had an issue when I was leaving a toll station. I hit resume to accelerate along with the other traffic at about 50km/h and the speed dropped to 30km/h as the Speed Limiter had read a 30km/h sign on the way in to the tool station. I thought that the car was stalling. I hit the accelerator pedal and the car took off. Slight moment of panic.

My bad for not understanding all the features on this car.

Perhaps upon receiving the car we should do a factory reset to ensure that all settings are at the factory default...

Is this a car or computer? My salesman told me its a computer with wheels.

El Presidente, wants to require more safety tech on all new cars! There goes insurance rates even higher!

They've been that way for years, kind sir.

Shouldn’t that make them lower or do they consider the system(s) a liability?

It's the cost of repair and replacement. I work in the autobody industry even a mild front end collision costs a fortune and getting parts is another issue. You would think it would lower insurance cost but unfortunately it doesn't.

But since they are ‘requiring’ …

Requiring what? Adaptive cruise control? That's not required by law.

It's all the safety tech, yes adaptive cruise is not required but it's still tied into all the collision safety tech. Which is very expensive. Computer on wheels.

Thanks, I wasn't sure.

Again, it's not required by law (like seat belts), so ...
