Question about using cruise control while towing

[Bill Tolar]

1. Can I use ADAS on the R2 when towing
2. Agent said
   The R2 is designed with advanced driver assistance features, including Universal Hands-Free driving through Autonomy+. According to Rivian, you can use these hands-free features even when towing—so you’ll be able to enjoy assisted driving while pulling up to 4,400 lbs with the tow package.

Those pesky AI liars. I trust actual human beings who have driven an R1 and towed things with it.

One day there will be no more AI. Just imagine, if you can.

You're a dreamer.

Rivian adaptive cruise does not have automatic following distance. I am not sure what that even means.

You change following distance by changing the drive mode setting to Mild, Medium or Spicy. There is no other way to change the following distance. Those settings also impact how the truck conducts automatic lane changes when in Autonomy+ mode.

Did that actually go away with gen 2? Because I absolutely can adjust the following distance with the right scrollwheel on my gen1 and use it all the time. (but not while towing)
