Meh. Teething problems. It's not like the autopilot accelerated over the speed limit and crashed into a roadside barrier killing the driver. That'd never happen, would it?

I've tested similar scenarios with my autonomous cruise and it depends how early the other car switches lanes. Only the day before yesterday I had almost that exact scenario so I tested it with my foot poised above the brake. I was only probably doing 50 kph and the car in front switched lanes. I watched the cruise display and it picked up and started slowing the SR almost immediately. I would never take it as a given though.  :cool:

Irrespective of my dislike for cruise, I think you have taken the correct approach. :goodjob2:
 But, as the vid says, not a problem for people using auto pilot correctly...........................  :crazy1:

As I watch the modern drivers asking our advice, I conclude many driver's have little driving experience, little intelligence or are impractical to the point of utter stupidity.

Yours faithfully, Benevolently Cynical.  :happydance:
