The one rule I would dream of seeing is soft speed throttling to ensure that cars and trucks stay a safe 3 second distance or more apart from each other. That should be relatively easy to do with basic distance sensing and calculations.
Fucking tailgaters. No idea why so few people seem to be aware of how dangerous and stupid it is to tailgate.
obligatory reference
Duno about newer cars, but in a 2017 model bmw it tends to brake for parked cars quite often when using radar cruise control…
Was going to ask the same question - cruise control is for open roads like motorways. Not around town. No wonder they had issues with it.
Maybe you don’t. But ancestor post is suggesting to make it mandatory to avoid tail gating and then it had better work properly.
The Cupra Born I drove the other day (don’t own a car and rely on carsharing and rentals for my business) while doing deliveries for a catering event did this. It was really annoying driving in narrow streets with it braking for parked cars.
My 2017 Volvo just warns me if there’s a parked car in a curve, never had it brake automatically for parked cars no matter the scenario, so I guess it’s just that BMW’s system wasn’t quite there yet at the time…
Ah true, yeah I test drove a polestar and a Hyundai ioniq 5 before deciding to go with the bmw and they both worked a lot better, but were also way more expensive since they were new and the bmw was second hand 😅
Unfortunately there weren’t any second hand phev volvos available in my area at the time.
