Adaptive Cruise Control

Adaptive Cruise Control
I have owned several vehicles with this feature and while the Defender is currently my favorite vehicle of all time I must say that the adaptive cruis control is terrible. Mine constantly surges forward, then hits the brakes and surges again. It will make you want to barf. Anyone else have the same issue? Maybe it is something that needs repair. Just seems like bad coding to me. Infiniti, BMW are smooth and you can’t feel anything unless someone taps their brakes in front of you.

It would be interesting to learn where other manufacturers source this tech from, as I wouldn't be surprised if this is a system developed by a supplier rather than the manufacturer themselves.

it is a bit white knuckle compared to some others I own when you come up on a line of stopped cars. I tend to run further back than a few bars as well, but will get some big experience on how it works next month when we do our 2200 mile round trip road trip for Christmas.

I have to agree it can be jerky, but I find changing the 'follow me' distance (number of bars) can help, as can adjusting your set speed. All part of the freeway driving experience. TBH, while I love the ACC (and LKA for that matter), I think in the long run it makes you a complacent driver.
