One thing I learned is if you rest your foot on the accelerator, it seems to nullify the AP exemption.
Another is the “follow distance” is only measured when you’re between 1s and 3s away from a vehicle ahead. So I was 7 car lengths for an entire drive, but never got “credit” for that as good following distance since it was greater than 3s. And the one time someone cut me off dinged me. So that would make my follow distance 100% bad even though it represented 1% of my drive. But I have no idea why or if it would drag down the overall score that much.
Yeah, the car not recognizing that distance for the safety score is kind of inexcusable to me. If the car can see and recognize a vehicle enough to put it in the visualization then it should count as a "following" event. The other issue that is related to this is the car coming in hot to stoplights/stopped traffic. I actually think that the car puts stoplights on the visualization before it puts vehicles but it still comes in hot. Personally I think that the car should at a minimum start "coasting" the moment it sees a red light. The car uses the brakes way too much on its own.
