“Even with hands on the steering wheel when on the highway the car warns you to put you hands on the wheel. When accelerating using the steering wheel cruise controls the car accelerates rapidly going way faster than one would wish. Unlike most cars, the switch on the steering wheel does not lock in a speed when you release it when speedometer reads the desired speed. Instead the care keeps accelerating, the turbo kicks in and the g-force pushes you back into the seat.”
