Dangerous acceleration when driving on Highway using adaptive Cruise Control

[SlicerOnSteam]

People seem to refuse to awknowledge a safety issue and try to blame the user. To illustrate my experience:

1) A slight uphill og downhill - Can't smoothy accelerate, will allways go above the limit values and then hard brake when it detects this 3 seconds later. Will in additional not see the cars in front
2) Raining - Can't see anything, so lets go wrooom!
3) A slight turn on the highway - Hmm, unsure, lets go wrooom!
4) Tunnel entries - can't see anything, well then I better go wrooom!
5) Snow? Get out of here! ... But not before I have accelerated hard for a couple of seconds and failed to notify my driver that the anitcollision system is fault
6) Sun in the face? Hell if I know, wrooom wrooom!
In summary; unless you are in a country with close to none of the factors above, you can't use the CC reliable.

You are absolutely correct. Ford was only willing to put in just enough effort to boost their stock prices.

They made a shoddy face tracking system to trick people into thinking they were working on some basic autopilot features and then just slapped in a regular adaptive cruise system that is unsafe for any consumer who might believe it's a legitimate attempt to compete with Tesla.

I'm a fool for not giving Tesla a try first, but I was shocked when it automatically slowed down to take a sharp curve. That's exactly when I started to realize all of Ford's efforts are just lipstick on a pig. The fact that a car on adaptive cruise might ever speed up when a sensor fails is damning evidence of absolutely reckless engineering and should quickly escalate to a class action suit.

I actually really like how slowly the Ford auto-cruise takes off in stop and go traffic. It lets the car ahead get a nice lead. But it waits way too late to slow down as it approaches the same car ahead at the next stop. Tesla's system follows a little closer on take off but also slows down way earlier and a lot safer on the stops.

My 2023 GT has the same issue - EXCEPT. It doesn't happen in bad weather. It happens ANY time that a vehicle in front of me causes my car to slow, then resume. It resumes at FULL THROTTLE and will keep accelerating until I hit the brakes. Downright scary!

Full throttle?

You might be the only person alive who is glad the 23 GT is still has a power limit!
