Elexio: Smart Cruise Control

Is there anything more frustrating than driving distance and seeing your cruise control and being behind drivers that force you to hit the brake canceling it. Up till now that’s been my driving experience in my BMW, it having the older style cruise control.
The Elexio offers Smart Cruise Control that can adapt to drivers around it and adjust your speed accordingly. Today, I got the opportunity to put this system to the test as my step-sister and I visited a nearby town for some morning tea, whilst travelling at one point on a 100 kilometre per hour stretch two cars ahead were doing slightly less and the car dropped to match whilst keeping a safe distance; as one later sped away it adjusted and matched the next car.
Adjusting to new limits was relatively easy with the up and down toggle to the left of the wheel, short up equating to 1 km, long to 10 km; down negating with the same.
If there is one feature I wish was in the Elexio from my BMW that isn’t it’s the LIM (limit) function. A function very similar to cruise control but that allows you to specify the maximum speed the car is permitted to dox hence its limit; I would use this limit extensively in town to avoid speed traps in known areas—it will be sorely missed.
