definitely.

on the phone, doing makeup, rocking out to music, thinking about making dinner or errands, thinking about work, thinking about relationships, goes on and on...

Surprisingly my '19 G30 has both but agree that having both on a G30 is rare. The car we bought had just arrived at the port in Baltimore and we selected it off the spec sheet at the dealership. It had a couple of other options we weren't necessarily interested in but have enjoyed/appreciated all of them and now most of them have become must haves lol.

Every single day now I encounter people driving in the left lane constantly being passed on the right. I don't know if they are really so rude and self important that they don't care about that...or do they not even notice. You can pass them and glare at them and flip them off and flash your lights and honk and they don't even react...

I can't tell you the last time I came up on anybody and flashed my lights and they moved over. Its been a LONG time. They don't act weird or get aggressive back to me either its just like I'm not there.

I really think most people are just driving along in their own heads and not really paying attention on any level.
This isn't inattentiveness. This is not understanding the rules of the road, and self-centeredness. They just don't feel like they need to let anyone go by if they are "going over the speed limit".

He shouldn't be driving.
any person on this board, that pulls back in line within the tuned following distance in front of a vehicle with this dynamic cruise system on, will indeed cause said vehicle to slow down. Perhaps even brake.

is that vigilante stuff? Then we are all vigilantes and should turn in our keys. Everyone has unknowingly slowed another driver with this system.

I've never used Dynamic cruise but from what you all are reporting, I don't think I would like it anyway.

Besides, my driving needs no computer assistance. Lol

There is a huge difference between unknowingly doing that and knowingly doing it to screw with people like you said you do.

I said it was fun. I am intelligent enough to recognize that cars slow down behind me all due to this cruise situation. It is easy to see in the rearview as it causes what the OP observed as traffic congestion.

Perhaps some people are not that astute when driving because as you say this cruise system allows one to lower the "level of attention" while driving, that is not a good thing.

If you want to judge me on this forum, I supposed you have a right to do that. In the meantime, I will be on the lookout for drivers with lower "level of attention" behind the wheel.
