– 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?

My grandmother’s old Mercedes used to do that.

Ideally you want to just let up off the gas instead of braking and then if needed use the brakes. Some brands just simply don’t add this feature or sometimes will reserve it for the more premium models.
