I'm glad someone likes adaptive cruise. I don't personally get that close to other vehicles when I carry my truck camper or tow.
I wonder how well it adapts for the heavier load when it applies brakes.
I have the Ford version on a 2018 Escape - love it on the highway/freeway - in town not so much.
As others have mentioned the onboard radar picks up cars in left turn lanes and triggers both a slow down/break and the 'collision avoid' warnings (I turned the collision break OFF). A bit annoying but in areas with heavy LEO patrols (with radar guns) CC can come in handy.
I've gotten to where I simply don't use it in town.
Out on the highway/freeway it works very well. Seems that many folks don't regulate their speed very well so it frees the driver from manually speeding up/slowing down with ether their foot or finger on the +/- buttons.
