There have been days where the weather starts out to be low to no rain or snow and then while driving from Kenosha, WI to Milwaukee, WI the rain or snow gets heavier or mild and the smart cruise control will stop and say radar blocked and it will disable the use of it and disable regenitive braking as well. So if you are driving doing 70+ the speed limit on the interstate all of a sudden it will terminate without any warning and now all of a sudden the car behind you is in your truck space so you have to excellerate extremely to avoid getting hit. THis is a extreme safety hazard.
