Adaptive Cruise
My, took me a bit to warm up to but that adaptive cruise can certainly help when taking a longer drive. Did an almost 3 hour run into SE Texas today and used it most of the way, had to toggle the speed up and down a few times but that was it. I get it, it ain’t mountain road driving but it is certainly a useful shiny trinket when all you need to do is pilot the steering wheel. Old news to the younger crowd but to a guy who cut his teeth on a ‘77 Highboy, certainly had me reflecting on how things have changed……..

There are a few quirks that take some getting used to, like how it'll brake WAYYY too soon and aggressively when someone is turning in somewhere (like a parking lot)...gotta remember to kick it off when you see them turn on the turn signal or WHAM it'll slow you down to nothing, even when I KNOW they'll be clear before we get to them. So there's a learning curve but out on the highway it's nice.

I had to turn off the intelligent Cruise. But I do like the Adaptive Cruise.
Intelligent Cruise was reading the speed limit signs on the exits. and slowing me down to 45mph in middle of a 70 mph traffic.
