Possibly unpopular opinion. Smart cruise control… it sucks. Constantly speeding up and braking. Probably wears your car out worse than just driving regular. And also it has to be worse on gas mileage. And not being able to turn it off and use regular cruise control is stupid.

I am warm in my chair with my blanket but would like another cup of coffee.

I inadvertently made my thermos for the duck blind this morning with regular coffee. No Bailey's. No Bourbon. It was brutal.

If you're constantly speeding up and breaking, you're using it in situations it's not intended to be used for, like in city travel. It's not automated driving. It's intended to replace normal cruise control usage on highways/interstate. If you're still somehow constantly speeding up and breaking, I have no idea what you're doing.

I will never own another car that doesn't have adaptive cruise control, at a minimum. It's a complete deal breaker for me.

Smart cruise control


My favorite is when you are coming up on a slow car so you go to change lanes then halfway through the lane change your car slams on the brakes so now you are brake checking the guy in the fast lane.

Cruise control is for Betas. I drive my car; I don't let it drive me...

I don’t like it. I end up slowing down inadvertently because I forget about that “feature” and it gradually slows me down enough I don’t notice for a while and then it hits me.

My wife's car has smart cruise. However, if you hold the on button for the cruise control for 2 seconds when turning it on it will revert to normal cruise control.

What year/model do you drive? I have the adaptive cruise feature and it allows me to turn it off.

Dog groomer just told me I need to wait a week since my dog still has a stitch that's undissolved from being spayed. How am I supposed to look like I run a civilized household on Thursday with an ungroomed dog?

Smart cruise isn’t meant to be used in situations that would require it to constantly speed up or down. I’ve also never heard of a smart cruise that can’t be turned off to just use regular cruise.

My smart cruise will all but drive itself, safely changing lanes well in advance of upcoming slower traffic for passing, adjusting speeds as limit changes, etc and even that will turn off automatically if it detects my eyes leaving the road in front of me for a certain period of time. I can also bypass it and just use regular cruise.
