This morning (8:14 or so heading to the doc, i took the 2 lane farm road as its faster and no construction.
its a winding, rolling small hill road with fresh markings and new high traction asphalt coating. Lots of trees to shade the road etc.
i also have my foot closer to brake pedal, because there is a good bit of deer crossing the road, most seem to know to look both ways before darting out .
anyway i had sport mode engaged, lane centering and cruise set at 60, its a fun drive as truck really takes the winding corners well , as i rounded a corner and road drops away down a wide left hand turn , about the same time i see a small deer (maybe 3 feet tall) come out of the woods approaching the road the truck does the SLOW down now thing just as i am applying brakes. the truck was aimed at the side due to the nature of the curve
so does the adaptive cruise pick up wildlife or was that just a fluke and good timing on truck and deer
