I would like to talk about my adaptive cruise control. Don't get me wrong, it is great. Made me a lazy driver but cars squeeze in my safe zone even set at 1 car distance. I understand that the rule of thumb is 1 car length for every 10 mph, so 50 mph would equal 5 cars distance but there are very few drivers out on the battlefields that follow that rule. When I set my cruise to lets say a steady 60 mph, my car sets the distance at about 3-4 cars distance. That leaves me like a sitting duck waiting for every car to pass me and squeeze in between me and the car I am following which then forces my iactivesense to apply the brakes to leave more distance for more cars to cut me off.
Is there any secret setting that Mazda can do to tighten that gap a little bit. I still have the 2 and 3 cars distance settings which is more than I would ever need but that default setting needs to be tweaked.
