I didn't know adaptive cruise control did that, that's super cool. I like how it's a special mode (because what if you need to go faster for some reason?), but there's still incentive to use it because, well, it's heckin' convenient! It's basically a "let the car worry about the speed" button.

With any cruise control you can always go faster just stepping on the speeder. When you release the speeder the cruise control takes over again. You can disable cruise control at any by time touching the break, or turn it off.
I admit I didn't know it was this good before I got it, I just thought it was cool it could keep breaking distance. Which was all I thought it could.
You still have to keep an eye on it though, it can get the speed limit wrong, and you can't use it if there are special weather conditions like snow or ice on the road.
But yes it's an amazing convenience on a normal day. And it has made me be way more calm in my driving, than my old manual.
But also the silence of an electric is amazing, it's like driving a luxury car, and it is much less stressing in traffic.
