are you using ford acc or openpilot alpha long?

I have Alpha Longitudinal turned off.

I have Alpha Longitudinal turned off.

Then this is normal behavior. Ford ACC was designed for interstates, not urban areas.

Ahh, ok thank you. I just got it all hooked up and tweeked everything else where it's perfect but that one perplexed me. Do you know if there is a setting to have the vehicle only start moving again with accelerstor push, much like it was with hands free before the Comma? That would also work just fine for me but I looked and couldn't find a way to set that. I thought maybe Dynamic Expiremntal Congrol may help with my situation but was playing it safe and haven't turned it on yet. Appreciate the help!

If you have alpha long turned off, there is a 99.9% chance it is behaving exactly like it did before the comma. Most likely, you are either hyperaware of what it is doing now that you have a new device which interacts with it, or you have subconsciously changed how you are working the gas and brake with your feet now that you are in full hands-free mode. With alpha long off, it's impossible for the comma to affect the gas and brake.

I can assure you it is off and with neither foot touching the peddles it started to go when the lead car moved my car would attempt toove forward then shudder between going and breaking fiatly rapidly (normally I'd have to tap the gas or push the confirm button to get it to go). Maybe I'll try toggling it on and off to ensure it isn't out of sink with sunnylink or something based on your statement.
