2025 GWM Cannon: Australian first drive
In practice though, it just needs some tweaks. For example even when set at the minimum follow distance, the gap is long. I can see that this is being done for a safety perspective and allows ample reaction and braking time should the car in front need to stop suddenly. However, the real world isn’t as forgiving and the gap looks like an invitation to every other car to cut in front, which they do.
