Hi folks,
Just wanted to share an experience with TACC on AP2 car on 17.5.28. I've just started using it on my daily commute on a fairly slow (40mph) but well travelled road with lots of traffic, TACC has been quite good at keeping pace, stop and go, and detecting lane changing cars in front of me.
But what impressed me most was yesterday night, I was on a fairly empty stretch of the road with TACC on 40mph, and a truck (Silver toyota) darted across from my right , T'ing across me to reach the left lanes.
While it wasn't exactly an emergency brake situation, it still required a reasonable change in speed to react, and the car did react quickly to it and slowed down appropriately to give enough distance for the truck to cross and then picked the speed back up. I was ready to react, but the car did what it needed to before I had to.
I was expecting only "my lane" speed and avoidance checks so far but was pleasantly surprised that it did pick up a rather dangerous and unusual scenario when it comes to what normal cruise control scenario entails.
Quite liking TACC so far. Hoping full AP2 EAP comes quickly, cant wait.
