Adaptive cruise is nice with no or little traffic Like you pass 1 car every 5 minutes

Adaptive Cruise sucks because the rest of the drivers aren't using it and just constantly merge into the area between me and the car in front of me because my car is following at its assigned distance. Which actually means that Adaptive Cruise owns for maintaining safe following distance and keeping your speed level with traffic and the other drivers are terrible.

Yeah, I was gonna add that. I'd love in theory to maintain a car distance for every 10MPH of speed (or whatever the guide is), but in practice, other cars will just cut into that space.

I'll accept AI doing my driving when it develops a 'perform pit manouver on shithead drivers who cut in on my safe following distance' functionality. Or if I can get hosed up and say 'take me home' and I wake up half an hour later at home and it's picked up some drive through burritos on the way.

redshirt posted:It does, but slowly. In my subaru you can set the level of acceleration used by adaptive cruise. I just set it to eco acceleration, and use the manual gas pedal if I want to pass faster. But you could set it to faster acceleration if you wanted. Since getting a car with adaptive cruise I've noticed I'm becoming less of an rear end in a top hat driver, and more content to go with the speed of traffic (barring an RV or truck going extra slow), as opposed to constantly wanting to go slightly faster and driving aggressively to maintain that speed. Its actively retraining aggressive driving habits, at least for me. Especially on long road trips off interstates, its absolutely amazing, best modern feature of cars bar none.

Correct. And since traffic is cooperative, not competitive, just let them go. Who cares if a dick head squeezes into your space? Just let it go.

On my mazda3 you can press the gas down a little and instead of accelerating it overrides the range finder. That lets you avoid the issue where the car slams on the brakes because someone merged in.

euphronius posted:Your car seizes up and goes haywire when they do that I actually started just driving the speed limit as a test last month and don't see any reason to quit. It's great. When you speed all you are doing is catching up to people going slower and everyone is in your way. If you go the limit, most folks just go around you. I do still get some annoyance like a driver last night going what I estimate was 35mph in a 55 at night. I assume they have something seriously wrong with them as it was a 30 year old car with handicap plates. I gave them a wakeup tootle.

If you drive a lot , going 10-15 over (so no chance of a ticket ) will save you 10-20 hours a month in the car compared to the speed limit For example

If everyone drove like they were part of a mutually beneficial society travel could be optimized without technological control and everyone could save time and money and the environment. But, this requires empathy and self awareness and consideration for fellow human beings and just lol at anyone not abusing the public common space for person advancement.

In Wednesday I drove 300 miles If I went 55 (speed limit ) it would have taken 5:30 If I went 70 (I did ) it took 4:20 Not including stops Edit The math is probably woefully wrong

euphronius posted:In Wednesday I drove 300 miles By your example then to save even 10 hrs, which is the minimum of the scale you provided, you’d have to drive 3000 miles in a month which is a full quarter of what the average driver does in a year. I’m not convinced.

euphronius posted:In Wednesday I drove 300 miles the point is you make a lot of assumptions about average speeds. if you're travelling a long distance in low traffic, speeding is definitely the way to go. in typical daily mixed city/highway driving, your actual, average speed is probably very minimally impacted by your top speed

euphronius posted:In Wednesday I drove 300 miles It works fine for a long distance. For a commute, it breaks down entirely when you hit traffic. What good it it to go 75 for three minutes and then average of 10mph for 10 minutes? I my example the difference is just under a minute. That's the majority of my driving. The distance thing, is probably also a bit skewed as I live in the west, is negated by having higher speed limits to begin with. I don't gain much by speeding, 60 miles takes 48 minutes at the speed limit and 45 min at 80, and 42 at 85. Meanwhile I save hours per month by not leaving the house.

You still need to be aware of your surroundings while driving with adaptive cruise enabled. Also the car never slams on the brakes in my experience, its more abrupt than I would brake maybe but nothing jarring.

My gf and I live in the community we do most of our stuff in including work and it’s actually way cooler than driving 3000-6000 miles a month If we have to go 300 miles we fly which is actually much more efficient per the metrics presented

Speeding is for when you're crossing the great plains from one state that has legal weed to another and you want to minimize your time spent in the backwards flatlands where it's still referred to as the devil's lettuce

People need to realize that their commute is not a race where passing more people lets you go faster when you finally reach that wide-open stretch of road out in front of everyone else, it is a queue where changing spots over and over again slows down the whole situation for everyone.

Man if you are consistently aiming to go 10-15 mph over the limit, and don't understand why that's bad, just lol 5-8ish is understandable in places where the limits are arbitrarily low Sticking right around the limit is almost magical in the way all the aggressive unpredictable people stay the hell out of your way

There are definitely some lovely driver assist systems out there (Subaru, Audi, Honda), which I assume is where the majority of the objections to them come from, because the good ones (Mazda, Mercedes, Ford surprisingly) are actually really well done and seamless.

10-15 over is only 75-80 on highways which is slow (which I like now since I’m way older ) 85 and above is what I would consider fast for highways. And that’s where cops start pulling you over euphronius fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Dec 1, 2023 |

Doing the speed limit in the PNW will require you to constantly weave across lanes to pass people, whereas on I-95 it's a good way to get people to use the shoulder to blast by you while giving you the finger.

After Covid lockdown though, that 7MPH is slow now, I get passed all the time. So i've bumped it up to 9 over, 79 in a 70.
