Once again “traffic aware cruise control” is still not the same thing as normal cruise control. I’ve had this car for 5 years, I know how to use it. It speeds up and slows down randomly and refuses to go above the speed limit at seemingly random times. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won’t, with no clear rhyme or reason.

Yeah can use standard ACC but it still won’t go over the speed limit. There’s no “normal” cruise control.

Use Deflock maps to avoid them. Ride a bike. My city is full of rogue natural trails so I can get around pretty easy without coming across them. Even if I did I have an indistinct bike with no logos. Typical balaclava, hat, sunglasses, etc.

I have Autopilot on mine (2020). I’ve asked them at the shop to remove it and reinstall basic cruise control and they refused, and I’m jealous. Autopilot suuuucks. I went on a 1200 mile road trip through North Texas. The whole time the car thought the speed limit was 55 when it was actually 75, and it refused to go any faster, so I had to drive for hours with no cruise control. It sucked.

They’re not omnidirectional. You can just walk up from behind it.

Honestly, this is an excellent use for AI. So long as responses are limited to the context of the customer support document database. Which is why it’s astounding that no one is talking about it.

Force customers to use it for 5 minutes and you cut your call volume by 70% (RTFM).

Ideally they could take those savings and invest it in their human support providers but of course that’s very unlikely in most cases.
