Surely you notice that you're coming up on someone and can switch to the left lane before you're close enough that the adaptive cruise starts slowing you down though? It kind of sounds like you just don't want adaptive cruise at all, since you want to turn it off any time it "adapts".
You made it! That's the point. They are 2 different tools for 2 different situations. One sets a constant speed. The other follows the flow of traffic. Glad I could clear that up for you. I'll continue to use both.
Okay. But why are you turning on adaptive cruise in the first place if you don't want it at all on the highway? You say you want to switch it "quickly and easily", but it's not like you just wind up on multilane highways without warning.
I don't have adaptive cruise so the way I'm reading what he is saying basically :
Use adaptive cruise in heavier traffic situations where lane changes arent as easy.
Use standard cruise control when the passing lane(s) are clear(er) so they can pass at their cruise speed at leisure without either having to speed up or hold up traffic behind them to perform the pass.
This works fine with adaptive cruise, just change lanes before you reach the adaptive follow distance.
