[QUOTE="NightShine, post: 1392174, member: 294"] Cruise control is a wonderful tool to help reduce driver fatigue. But it's apparently morphed in the past several years... The cager I bought new 20 years before refused to die, which had been my usual incentive to get another car, and I was beginning to wonder which of us would go out first. So I settled the matter and got a new one, instantly finding myself the beneficiary of a couple of decades of innovation. Wow. Adaptive cruise control: a shared authority, full range throttle and braking system that monitors the traffic ahead of you and adjusts your speed accordingly. Useful in stop and go traffic as well as gliding down the open road. All you have to do is keep yourself in the loop to monitor things. The car takes care of the throttle and brake. The motorcycle tie-in? Well for several reasons it was the first time I'd been on the bike for many weeks. Set the cruise control on a local two lane road, and relaxed in monitoring mode. Then as I was approaching some traffic ahead of me in my lane (double yellow), I thought, "Hey, wait a minute. Why isn't the bike slowing itself down?" Oh, yeah. Duh! Just plan old fashioned cruise control... [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
