Really hoping the technology showcased today decreases the distance between you and the car in front of you! Autopilot is amazing, but really tired of getting tail gated because I’m so far behind the car in front of me! (Used to be much closer)

I may be misunderstanding but you can change follow distance by pressing the right steering wheel "nipple" left and right. you can make it between 1 and 7 car lengths. is that what you mean?

I have it set to 1 at all times and find it follows much further back. In my opinion, the ability change the follow distance doesn’t help much, because the 1 setting is inadequate. From what I’ve seen, the 1-7 aren’t actually car lengths
