By heavy traffic, I’m referring to bumper-to-bumper traffic. I’ve found that I can’t get it to stop anywhere near the car in front of me, always preferring to leave several cars of space. Sure, it’s safer that way, but it’s annoying when the person behind you is laying on the horn while people constantly cut you off.
Driving myself in those situations is generally just less stressful.
Oof, bad on your car manufacturer then. My car (Kia Niro Wind) lets me adjust the following level and it adjusts the following distance based on your speed. Bumper to bumper keeps me as close as I’d be doing it normally. Only time I need to override is getting back up to speed from a stop, it doesn’t accelerate quite fast enough for my taste and leaves room for people to cut in.
