I haven't found an answer to this and would like to ask the forum. Driver's Confidence Package 2 gives "automatic forward, low speed automatic braking" with forward collision alert. I believe I read that was 31 MPH or less.

ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) gives "Full Speed Front Automatic Braking"

Here is the question for a car equipped with ACC BUT not having cruise control on. If I am driving 45 MPH or 55 MPH and the car senses I might hit the object in front of me, will the car try to stop itself? I can't seem to find any answer. Does anyone know?

Wonder if you could test ACC using a heavy drop cloth with 2'x2' panels of foam insulation like this:

The sheathing should be dense enough to reflect some sonar, the tarp+sheathing would be visible to the camera. I'm gonna have to research how the Tesla owners tested their ACC safely (and not with a wall or car).
