LC 250 Hate = It’s REAL

One of my favorite unexpected features of the J250 are the self-driving features. When I'm in crawling interstate traffic and TJA turns on it’s amazing.I couldn't even begin to imagine myself sitting in a vehicle that drives itself. Especially an off road vehicle.
First time this happened to me I was like "wow, this is very awesome!"
Adaptive cruise control and LCA are useful but still have glitches that I find annoying. If I am coming to a place where cars are turning in a turn lane in front of me I cancel it until I pass otherwise my truck overreacts and hits the brakes to much. That is not anywhere near a self driving car. Which I for one will never be in. Call me a luddite, I don't mind.
As I'm in my late 70's I find the adaptive cruise control can help put you to sleep. With all the automation you don't have to drive that much anymore. I am not a fan of self drivers. Too many chances to get brake checked. I truly like the smoothness of the LC though. I am not certain the LC will completely stop in traffic. I chicken out and hit the brakes as it slows down as it approaches a stopped vehicle.
I feel the same, I worry about being lulled into less attentiveness. I've never liked cruise control on any car (before or after adaptive). I'm intrigued by the TJA, but also am too conservative to give it a full trial in "non-operational" conditions. Used to be you could use traffic cones for training high performance driving (still can) but I imagine the Adaptive Cruise Control needs something more substantial.
Who cares what other people think. Be yourself.
