Consumer Description
When in self driving mode, which activates the adaptive cruise control, it is not possible to set the following distance. The following distance automatically selected by Tesla self driving is much too close to the vehicle in front of me. Tesla has removed the ability to set the following distance. It follows at approximately 2 seconds behind the car in front of me, regardless of my vehicle speed .... at 80 MPH 2 seconds is not enough time for a driver to react. Following distance should be controllable by the driver. Taking away this ability deprives a driver of driving within their own limitations.
