Did bugs disable my adaptive cruise control?

Did bugs disable my adaptive cruise?

Last evening I was driving 101 in Olympic NP and a huge amount of bugs hit my windshield. After about an hour car told me adaptive cruise was no longer available due to a fault.

The wipers and fluid (mostly original from delivery) did virtually no good cleaning the windshield. Shampoo and an old sock did the trick this morning LOL.

Submit a ticket to service. The sensors in my steering wheel are out. I am 3 hours from a service center so I am just managing the inconvenience

I’m sure that was what it was. I’ve had both my R1S and Model S disabled by slush, once cleaned all was good.

You get that same message if driver+ thinks you weren't responding to a takeover request quick enough, or if you unbuckle your belt while cruise is on. It'll work the next key cycle.

Yes. All of the hatching is happening at once on the OP. Very happy trouts are about.

I’d love to have plan old cruise control. Adaptive sucks in any amount of traffic.

I like adaptive when I am happy to sit in one lane in heavy traffic, but I agree it would be nice to have the option of plane control for when passing in lighter traffic.

Adaptive cruise control uses the camera in the windshield and radar. Bugs could absolutely distort the camera image. To a lesser extent, it’s possible that a big fat bug splat could attenuate the radar signal strength, but less likely.

Yeap, bugs, mud, snow, ice, even rain, can disable the Driver+/Adaptive Cruise
