PSA - Adaptive Cruise

[HuntingPudel]

If in adaptive cruise behind traffic, and you exit the highway, this will happen when there is no longer traffic holding your speed down. This is why I turned off the sign recognition. Nothing like speeding to 65 when the exit is 30 (doesn’t recognize the yellow speed signs).

This is not what happened. It throttled up like I was hitting it at 3/4 or better. Crazy unsafe. ??

This morning on the way to work an F150 cut me off. I was using Adaptive Cruise Control to maintain spacing and expected the car to slow down in order to maintain spacing. I had a fun surprise when the car throttled up and I had to hit the brakes in order to prevent rear-ending the F150. Once the Cruise was re-enabled, it behaved itself. Please be aware when using Cruise Control or BC. Thanks all! ??

Sounds like Ford has now automated road rage. This technology is amazing!

Wife has experienced cruise control increasing or decreasing speed unexpectedly. She thinks it is related to the speed sign recognition, but my understanding is that speed sign recognition and tolerance range control the alert message that appears, but does not adjust speed. True/false?

false - for reducing speed, it will slow down when the speed limit changes... say from 65 to 55 if you have that turned on. It will increase speed if you are stuck behind a slow car in traffic doing say 30 and your cruise set to say 65 and the lane in front of you suddenly clears... it will speed up to the cruise setting.
