In the main, I'm loving Pilot.
Came from a 2009 ICE car that had none of that gear.
But I must say, the car has made some odd decisions when using ACC.
Mostly that when driving along, the car will brake suddenly and severely without any obvious hazard being visible.
Has anyone else suffered this?
Now I have my bins on
I like ACC on the whole but if I leave it on it does rather make you look like an amateur.
I don't really mind it slowing for bends etc as that can be explained by the camera not being able to see around the bend, but is also quite annoying on a straighter road like a dual carriageway/motorway when it sometimes just wants to slow slightly, then speed back up again.(regardless of following other traffic)
My friend was behind me today on a 30 mile trip to Pembrey Country Park.
I was asking him if the brake lights were coming on and off (in line with the feeling of the car slowing down) and they were. (making you look like a noob if you get my drift)
Not yet had it brake suddenly for nothing, but it has slammed on, when it thought I was going to hit a parked car I was passing.
(Van was stopped on my side of the road, I had to move onto the other side of the road to pass it, I didn't indicate, no one close enough behind, perhaps if I had the car would have realised what I was doing?)
I had at least a foot between our wing mirrors.
Made me look like a right twonk in a busy high street (lots of peds and right outside of a Cafe with alfresco punters)
Took a while to trust it again after that, but " touch wood" It hasn't done it again since.............I've employed my start up routine, I.E. don't touch any controls until your screen has done its start up dance and your personal greeting is spoken to you.
(circa 30 seconds from unlock in my case)
