– adaptive cruise control brakes when it sees a car in front of you, but not when you exceed the set limit?

Question

if the car has the ability to hit the brakes on its own when it sees another car in front of you, why can’t it do it when the car goes down an incline/exceeds a certain speed I don’t want to exceed?

Answer 1

Both of mine (Subaru, MINI) will hit the brakes if you exceed the cruise control setting, most often when you’re going downhill. The (electric) MINI will usually use the regenerative braking, but will use the wheel brakes if necessary.
