Ive a ford maverick (smallest hybrid truck i could get in the states), and was very skeptical of this feature. Im surprised about how correctly responsive it is. I drive something like 60/20/20 suburban/urban/rural. Im always ready to turn it off, for fear of imperfect performance or incorrect toggling, but i cant point to a single instance where it did the wrong thing. It’s a little bit amazing!

I think it’s decent in some use cases but it’s not a silver bullet and any lack of maintenance on the sensor equipment used to control it causes bad experiences.

As my vehicle ages I might consider turning it off as it gets worse performance but I also live with a few car people who constantly rail against the performance of the feature so I’m primed for this more than the median user
