Wait does your cruise control automatically accelerate by default when it thinks it sees a sign..? That sounds terrifying! I've only seen systems which give you a prompt to switch speed which you can accept with a button

Mine did until I turned it off, and on an early software version it would do it at full acceleration of the car - and considering it has over 600 horsepower was really terrifying. It also slowed down violently once, misreading a sign on the motorway.

  • I've noticed this too! The Nissan's adaptive cruise control doesn't accelerate automatically after a sign, but when it does accelerate automatically, e.g because I accepted the prompt to change target speed or because the slow car in front changed lanes or took an exit, it accelerates so bloody quick. Way quicker than I would've if I'm just driving manually.
