Just curious, how much do you trust Honda Sensing? Do you always keep your foot around the brake ready to take over or do you typically just let it do its thing?
I used adaptive cruise control in the parking lot of stop and go traffic called I-35 for the first time and it worked pretty well, but I just couldn't fully trust it without getting anxious. The car would sometimes speed up in scenarios I wouldn't, like when the car in front of me got a bit ahead of me but I could see ahead we were coming up on another stop. The car applied accelerator and a hard brake when I'd normally just coast and soft brake. I find that to be a disadvantage since a hard start and stop would eat more gas than a softer coast. I guess the radar and sensing only sees the car ahead of you and distance to apply formulas and doesn't take into account predictions based on other traffic ahead.
I also don't know how "quick" it is to react in traffic. Typically I can see blinkers or see that a car wants to get in the gap ahead of me and slow down before or as the driver is doing that. I felt that ACC would hit the accelerator a little too aggressive in traffic. In my above scenario since I wouldn't be accelerating too hard a car can easily slip in and it's not a big deal. However ACC would be applying accelerator which could perhaps cause the merging car to misjudge my speed. I personally find people who accelerate aggressively in heavy traffic during those momentary gaps to be annoying so I don't like being "that guy". Any workarounds to make it less aggressive? Perhaps a setting change. I guess I could always keep my top speed pretty low in traffic, though it was stop and go I had ACC set to 65 lol.
