1-pedal braking seems less aggressive

[dking1981]

So I tried the 1 pedal drive and it felt the same to me no matter what mode I was in. But Im not a 1 pedal user because I use cruise control a bit to much

I'm a one pedal driver, but I also don't really notice the difference, but I believe it is because of the way I drive. This goes for the accelerator too.

To me this is just like what I would do on any car, some have touchier brakes and power steering, and after a very short drive I adjust to them and the car now drives the "the same".

For instance, on the accelerator I'm very gentle on it. If I'm in a situation where I need to "move out of the way" then yes, I will apply it much faster. And in that situation, I can tell the difference between the driving modes. Not Earth shattering different, but certainly faster and since the only reason I would do that is I need the car to respond fast I drive in Unbridled to get that little bit more.

On the other side when coming to a stop, I never totally withdraw my foot until I'm stopped or have to switch to the friction brake. I'm "feathering" it to get it to stop where I want. To me, a person that learned "clutch/gears" on a motorcycle in an Air Force class that is all about clutch control this feels very natural. And another factor might be that I believe that in my 2024 I got the update that said "smoother" really quick after I got it and mostly used Engaged for most of the time, I had the 2024.

What does cruise control have to do with 1-pedal driving?

Not speaking for the person who made the comment, but I too don't like one-pedal driving when using cruise control because of the aggressive deceleration when it disengages. I have to be very precise with the throttle right when cruise control disengages, otherwise, my wife will give me a look as if to say, "why did you hit the brakes?".

So I dont like when I am using cruise control and I tap the brake to disengage the cruise control and the car automatically feels like it is slamming on the brakes. I cant seem to get into the habit of disengaging cruise control from the steering wheel.

When I am roadtripping and using BC w/ 1-pedal on, I switch to Whisper. This really smoothes out the decel.

But when I do this, my wife is constantly grabbing the “Oh-sh*t” handle because she thinks the car is going to run into the car in rent because she cannot feel the decel.

Now, if you are talking about how conservative the adaptive cruise is when someone cuts in front of you 4-5 car lengths ahead and how aggressive the collision safety braking (or whatever they call it) is, we’ll…enough said.

Ok that’s fair. I’ve gotten used to using the steering wheel button and engaging the accelerator to avoid the abrupt deceleration.

Locally I use adaptive cruise control (don't have blue cruise anymore and that's for highways anyway)

But I hit the button to disengage ACC when coming up to a stoplight.

I expect the aggressive regen to slow me to a stop and I've become better at when to disengage for regen assisted stopping.

ACC is more jerky coming to a stop in those situations.

I do this when driving alone, I don't torture my passengers with what hell moments as they look up from their cell phone.

It varies dramatically depending on mode. Whisper is very light and unbridle is far heavier. With that said, I’ve seen no noticeable change in the 1pd braking profiles.

Well, that explains it to me. I never use ACC in local traffic. I do have lane keeping on at all times, but that only engages at 40 mph and disengages below 35 mph and really is just on to "bump me" if I lose attention for a bit.

I just don't trust ACC that much to use it in heavy traffic or at intersections.

OK, maybe I've confused two different lane keeping features.

When you say lane keeping assist works without ACC or BC but only above 40mph?

Does that mean it keeps you centered in the lane with minimal steering wheel input?

Or is this the "lane departure warning" that let's me know I'm drifting over into the next lane by making it harder to steer that way? (mostly because I forgot to put the turn signal on to let the computer know lol)

Lane Keeping without ACC or BC isn't for "let the car do the steering".
It is selecting this control only:

It might "do it", but what it would probably do is bounce between the two-lane markers (I will actually test that and let you know later if you are interested in that).

I'm always actively steering, but if I drift over the lane marker it will give the indication that you have drifted over the line (in the 2025s that is a red bar and vibration on the wheel), and it will bump the steering back to into the lane. Note that if you use your turn signal and then do a lane change you feel nothing, and it waits a few seconds after the lane change and then is back in that mode.

There isn't any "lane departure warning". If I'm not mistaken that is really only when you combine both lane keeping and ACC or BC.

Ok the terms were sitting interchangeably in my head that's why I asked

And I thought that lane keeping button on the steering wheel was for lane centering not lane keeping

Today I learned lane centering happens with ACC or BC turned on whether or not that button was pressed.

Lane keeping button keeps you from drifting into another lane with the steering wheel vibration and nudge back

- and to your point could possibly bounce back to the opposite side of the lane if it was actively correcting and you were doing nothing about it (the car would maybe have terrible alignment as well LOL)

and "Lane departure warning" I didn't mean to make up another name for lane keep

Thanks, and swear I spent a lot of time in the driveway when this was new learning the systems lol

Edit: Just spent some more time in the vehicle going through the settings on the big screen to see that I still have it set up the way I liked.

If you lightly press the brake pedal (like only 1/4") then it won't slam the brakes on you. It will be the same as pressing the cancel button on the steering wheel. So you need to have a delicate touch with your foot to avoid jerkiness.
