F8 Adaptive cruise question on F8

I don't know of anybody using cruise control on any Ferrari. I can't on my GT2, not because I can't but ... why would anybody want to? Enjoy the drive. Use it on your Tesla. Kidding, but not.

I am sure it is somewhere to be found in the owner's encyclopedia (manual).

Honestly, I will never know unless I read it here.

Looking forward to know...

 

LOL - its on the left hand pod - Pit Lane Speed Control, or something.

Ferrari, wisely, do not even call it cruise.

....and that reminds me, whats the eta on your fine F8? Even my car stands a chance to catch it up

 

Well that makes two of us. No clue how to use it. Lol

 

Crazy question but did you call and ask your salesperson? Since you ordered the car they would be happy to answer every question you could have. Why not go directly to the source and get the info? You could even stop by the dealership and ask in person.

 

I guess not many people get or use that in a supercar. However I am surprised they didn’t know. Maybe Tom Fazio can assist on this. I’ll text him to look at the thread. The camera and resolution is a lot better on the F8 as you mentioned. It will be nice when the larger screens from the sf90/Roma come to these cars. It was always interesting backing out in my Ferrari and looking at a tiny screen. Always reminded me of when portable TV first came out and you would watch it on a 2 inch screen. Lol.

 

Proud , maybe . Shouting no. Shouting is done in all caps. I happen to own the car you just ordered and would like to find out how it works as well . That’s why I posted it. Have a nice day , Fred.

 

The ADAS option on the F8 is comical.

Ferrari spends all kinds of money and time to advertise the aerodynamic benefits of the S duct and then they place a big cube shaped sensor (as used on a VW Golf) smack in the middle of the duct opening blocking most of it! Why they did not place the sensor in one of the side grilles like they did in the 812 or Roma is beyond me. If you have not seen ADAS on an F8 its worth having a look. The sensor REALLY spoils the look of the front. Fortunately it is a pretty rare option.

If the F8 follows the current line of cars with adaptive cruise controls your answers are yes.

The car will come to a stop and still have the cruise activated. That is the car will move once the car in front moves. Note this can be bad. I would never be left in that situation.

Yes cruise now goes down to 30 kms/hr as idiot governments lower speed limits.

But why do you want adaptive cruise control . If I remember correctly unlike other cars that put the sensor in the bumper some where the F8 has it right in the middle of the S-Duct ???? And those big balls .

The standard cruise control is good enough IMO

Not to mention the poor execution of the front camera. At least they blended the front sensors MUCH better than the Pista that resemble pimples

 

I was told not to get it because it looks funny & my plate will block it.

OP what's with the attitude towards Cigarzman & mkraft3003 . Are you perfect and only expecting perfect comments... You have so many other wonderful cars you should know your own answer rather than pick at people's comments and criticize them..

 

Did you happen to order "Structural Blue" ??

 

Given Ferrari's proclivity with all things electronic, the whole notion of using adaptive cruise control or any level of even semi-autonomous driving in a Ferrari makes me want to run to make sure my life insurance policy is fully paid.

 

I did not because it was out of my price range. Maybe Fred bought that color ? Relax.

 

I hope it works better than the system on my 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia ... it can get confused in heavy traffic by cars on either side of you and decide you're about to rear end someone and brake hard abruptly. Would hate to get rear-ended in a Ferrari and have the cruise control be to blame. Italian technology!

I didn't order it on the Alfa, it was on the car I leased already. Didn't see much use in having it, personally, although it was kind of nice to have it in crawling traffic ... until it freaked out. It also steers itself when it's active using the lane markers, but, interestingly only works on that way on the Interstates in the US, not state highways, so somewhat limited up around Boston.

 

My company runabout is a liberty Subaru. You asked a question i responded to it. ITS ADAPTIVE cruise control thats the difference to cruise control. It adapts ,

The liberty does that , no accelerator it just moves up to the speed you set it.

Each to their own as you say. But given your cars the F8 wouldnt be the every dayer so if you think its what you want go for it.

If you want to put your life on Ferraris electronics to stop you instead of your foot, well i guess ild say Good Luck.

 

I just saw the surround view cameras jutting out of the side mirrors on the F8 spider. Frankenstein’s bolts in his neck were more subtle.

In the Roma you hardly know they exist. In the F8 spider, they are huge bolt on knobs jutting from the mirror. Aesthetically obnoxious and embarrassing. They make the large square of the adaptive cruise control blocking your aero seem almost palatable.

I am so thankful I did not check those boxes!

 

Wow. I didn’t even notice those in the photo above until you mentioned it. Now that is all I see. Lol.
