Today was my first experience with ACC in any vehicle, but it happened to be a 2017 Volt.
It got a workout. 80 miles at an average speed of 19 mph, all congested freeway.
At first, I saw the hiccups and was pissed. But after experimenting a bit, if the traffic stops and the car stops, I wait for the lead car to move about 10 feet before hitting resume, and leave the distance setting on the middle setting. After that, it stopped literally 100 times or more without an issue with cruise set at 75mph.
It scared the snot out of me for an hour. But eventually I got used to it, and ... arggghhh... I LIKE IT!!! OK, I said it. It made a really nasty rush hour freeway nice and relaxing.
Didn't care much for Lane Keep Assist though. When there is no emergency lane in the #1 lane on a freeway, I'm pretty sure it would hit the K-rail and damage the car.
