    Youll eventually understand how much of a pita adaptive cruise is in a semi

    Is the cruise control smart enough to deal with downhill grade? Or it is left to the skills of the driver?

    Im sure theres some that will brake for you that exist, but im not interested in my truck driving itself, the electronic "smart" stuff may be smart enough for a car, but in a semi its not good enough

    Yeah, I agree with you, I posted 95% and after giving it more thought, that's low, real low.
    Those coast-to-coast reefer runs are great.

    If my cruise quit working, I'd probably just abandon the truck and walk home.

    Why dont people like adaptive cruise? My last couple of bid trucks have had it. The only time ive had issues are when it faults out and the newer trucks dont let you override it.

    I don't know about others. I was on cruise control every minute possible to be on cruise control.
