I had to look these up, and it looks like it’s Adaptive Cruise Control (regular distance based), and Intelligent Cruise Control (ACC + lane keeping). Most likely it switches between if it can’t find the road lines.
I only have ACC in mine, and there’s still situations where I turn it off like in heavier traffic. It reacts too slowly so it ends up braking harder than it needs to, and then waits to accelerate and leaves a huge gap. It effectively makes traffic worse than if I drive manually.
I’ve also turned the lane departure system to warning-only because I’ve had it try to push me off the road before while I was towing a trailer. On narrow windy roads, it’s basically required to hug the lines so I don’t end up clipping trees with the trailer.
it switches between them because it decides i am not moving the steering wheel enough (on a straight line). If I shake the wheel a bit the ICC reengages after a couple of seconds.
I get it is a failsafe so people don’t treat it as autopilot, but the thing complains constantly with both my hands are holding the wheel. mostly on straight lines or long constant curves
I had a literal rage out over that. It kept prompting me to keep both hands on the wheel and I was doing exactly that. It ended up shortening the duration between prompts and then eventually just started beeping loudly at me so I decided to drive like I had Parkinsons, just fucking shaking the wheel constantly through the slop zone until I could find a safe place to pull over and figure out how to turn the fucking thing off.
