Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving in the right lane on a four lane interstate highway with good driving conditions and a 70 MPH speed limit. The car was an enterprise rental. Adaptive cruise control uses the accelerator and brakes to maintain a safe distance to the car ahead. It is done by sensing the distance to the car ahead at about 5 car lengths then adjusting the accelerator and brakes as needed to maintain this spacing and avoid a rear end collision. The fault is seen in changing lanes. The cruise was set at 70 MPH and my car approached a car ahead going 65 MPH. …”
