Was driving 65 mph on the interstate truck in front of me slammed on their brakes and I was using adaptive cruise control so it slammed on the truck brakes and the load shifted and damaged the side of the trailer.

 

Yes it was a dry van.

That is your problem. If the cms is tracking ANYTHING, cruise control should be off. Don't give it a chance to freak out.

Minimum safe following distance is 7 seconds. Most cms/adaptive cruise holds a 4 seconds gap. They are designed to give a driver an extra second to respond. They are not designed to maintain a driver's safe following distance. I teach my guys that if they have traffic within 14 seconds, cruise should be off and they should be running the fuel pedal.

 

Thanks
