Cruise Control issue - "keep eyes on the road"

[AJ's Nite Pony]

Does anybody else have the issue with their cruise control where they set it, and then a few minutes later it starts to beep and say something like "keep eyes on the road" and I think there is another warning but I can't remember exactly what it says. This has happened to me when in the blue cruise mode and also not in blue cruise. I am thinking it may get triggered by any kind of phone usage but I can't quite pinpoint the trigger yet. It makes using cruise control extremely inconvenient.

Outside of this I am absolutely loving my MME.

Yes. You need to look at the road.

LOL. I only ever use hands free through Car Play so its really frustrating when I am trying to take a call and my car mutes the person on the other line and starts barking at me to keep my eyes on the road.

Is it doing it because you take your eyes off the road, or for no reason?

When you said phone use, it makes it sound like you’re playing on your phone.

It does. With this thing.

The cameras behind the wheel are watching your eyes. My teenager triggers it often while I rarely trigger it. It is within the realm of possibility that your camera is overly sensitive. It is more likely that your gaze is shifted from where the cameras think it should be. I have not observed it barking at me when there is a CarPlay event and I use voice commands to acknowledge/respond.

It seems for no reason. I can't imagine the car has the ability to analyze my eye balls right?

It does watch your eyeballs, both with hands-free Bluecruise as well as "hands-on" Bluecruise, which is what mode you're likely in if you have cruise control and lane keeping activated together.

Oh wow interesting. I guess I really do need to keep my eyes on the road. I will be conscious of that and see if that solves it.

Might want to read your manual when you get a chance.

I nominate this for thread of the week, and it is only Monday morning.

Did you really need the car to tell you that?

This is pretty funny. Did it not dawn on you that when not looking at the road, the vehicle was prompting you to do so. It's almost as if it has IR eye trackers watching your eyes providing some feedback about watching the road were functioning as intended.

Just feed it to gemini and ask questions.

I really don't think I am doing all that much hence why I use the hands free technology. I am surely not texting and driving or reading this lovely forum and driving. I feel like another person said there is a chance the car is being overly sensitive. I mean part of driving is also being aware of the other cars around me so it could be i'm setting it off when merging or changing lanes.

I mean I am looking straight ahead when the warning is going off and it continues to go off.

Maybe the position of your hand or steering wheel is blocking the sensor.
It tells me that when I play with my mustache, I think it blocks the view of my eye.

Could definitely be something like this. I think I tend to drive with my hand right in front of the sensor. I regrettably was unaware the car actually did this.
