Others have come forward with their own stories about erratic vehicle behavior while using their cruise control. [219] In March 2010, Ward's Auto reported that user unfamiliarity with the faster response of laser- and radar-based cruise control systems was a likely factor according to AAA , NHTSA, and manufacturer findings.
