Good to know I’m not alone then. Hmmm, I wonder if I can disable the braking part and just keep the audible and vibrating seat part? I was thinking the morning sun was causing the issue since in the 1000 mile round trip that’s the only time it occurred. I can imagine where the sun would affect image recognition but I’m not sure how it affects radar signals. Plus, I made the same 1000 mile round trip a few weeks earlier (a later departure time) and never experienced the issue.
My Denali did not come with the $3k autonomous steering but it does have lane assist. This has spoiled me. I wasn’t sure about it at first but it’s been very useful and hasn’t caused any problems for me. I just have to remind myself that I have to do ALL the driving in my other car! Though it works fine in the city and I’ve gotten used to the “nudges”, it’s REALLY nice on long drives down the interstate – keeping me off the bump-bump-bump center lane and the brrrrrrrrr shoulder.
Agree about the human brain part. I prefer to be a participant in the driving task. But I don’t mind allowing the truck to deal with that person in front of me, NOT using cruise control, and varying their speed plus or minus 1 or 2 MPH. I don’t miss the 30+ years of turning cruise on/off to deal with them. If they’re going close enough to the optimal speed, I just LOCK on to them.
