I've tested it in Austria and decided to stick with regular ACC instead.
What I didn't like about it:
- on highways it would regularly decide to set it's speed to 60kmh even if there was no sign like that and the flow of cars was going with 100+ - so definitely a collision risk
- during mountain roads I was under impression that it would decide to set a speed according to the next corner but instead it was just setting itself to whatever the max limit was on that sector
Probably I'll test it more during this 3 months trial but most probably I'll cancel the subscription.

Thanks for feedback very much appreciated

I have Innodrive and you can set it follow the speed limit or not. I leave the speed limit following function off so it only slows for corners, roundabouts etc however it approaches these either too fast or too slow for my liking so I rarely use it. The ACC is excellent, I use it regularly. ALK I like for motorways, particularly longer trips, but not narrower single carriageway as you end up wrestling against it too much.

I can highly recommend ALK, which I use on a daily basis. Gives you a very smooth and safe ride when not actively driving this tremendous car. Especially on longer road trips it provides a more relaxed drive. My understanding from the dealer and this forum the Innodrive is just annoying.

Does ALK start annoying the driving after some time ? To warn you to hold the steering wheel ?
My Tesla does that in a very annoying way every 20 seconds.
I have to constantly play with the steering wheel to avoid that it complains.

I love using these options but yes my car does the same thing, it wants you to hold the wheel very frequently which does get annoying.
I wish there was a way that is would not make you grab the wheel so often. Other than that the system works great.

Yes. It's probably even less than 20 seconds.

My preferred way of using ALK is basically to steer the car, letting ALK handle the constant small adjustments necessary to go in a straight line. The slight pressure of my hands against the wheel when ALK is making those small corrections means I am never prompted to take over. It has much more of an effect on the energy required to drive the car than I anticipated it would.

My only complaint with ALK is that it struggles mightily with the road markings here where they've been worn down by snow plows and corrosive winter road treatments. I find myself having to turn off both ALK and LKA on country roads or the car will literally try to drive itself off the road or into oncoming traffic.

Innodrive is almost really useful.

Can I hijack the thread? Sorry

I've got the Innodrive option and I really only use it on the motorways since as mentioned by others it acts very odd on A/B roads i.e. too quick or slow on corners or roundabouts.

However I've just noticed (and I'm not 100% sure if it was doing this before) that when the car slows down the brake pedal itself moves, i.e. presses down.

Is this right? Do others have the same experience?

That is normal. Tesla also does it like that.
