Volkswagen's adaptive cruise control system attempted to accelerate one owner's car to 100 miles-per-hour in a 30 zone, report says
A Volkswagen driver's car attempted to accelerate up to 100 miles-per-hour in a 30 miles-per-hour while its driver was using its adaptive cruise control technology,Laurie Kenny, a retired university lecturer from East Yorkshire, England, told The Times that he had set up the adaptive cruise control in his VW Tiguan, and was returning home down a street with a speed limit of 30 miles-per-hour. But the car mistakenly registered this as 100 miles-per-hour, and began accelerating.
Another Tiguan owner, Nick Croft, told The Times that his car slammed on the brakes on one 60 miles-per-hour road, because it thought the speed limit was actually 30 mph. Croft also saw the cruise control accelerate up to 110 miles-per-hour while driving down the M5 freeway, where the speed limit is 70 miles-per-hour — the maximum in the UK.
In a statement sent to Insider, Volkswagen noted that the adaptive cruise control system is"certainly not designed to create a fully autonomous vehicle nor supersede the responsibility of the driver." "There are clear, helpful instructions in the owner's manual on how to make good use of ACC, and also warnings that it is not a substitute for the full concentration of the driver, who should be prepared to control the vehicle at all times while driving. Additionally, it warns that ACC may not be able to recognise all driving situations correctly."
