You need to give even more space then so that them doing that doesnt make you slow down. People cutting in front of you also helps because those are the assholes causing the brake waves.
Edit: down voters, I’m not saying that he “needs” to do anything as in it is his responsibility or he’s to blame. I’m saying that, if he is going to employ this strategy, that making room for pricks swerving in front of you needs to be part of that strategy in order for the desired outcome to happen. If they are making you brake, then your attempts will not work.
This is actually an argument for why these features should be mandatory. Traffic is caused by humans and their silly emotions. These types of self driving features with inter-communication would erase traffic jams.
Everyone is doing 15+ under. We’re taking stop and go traffic. What are you talking about?
Edit: Also the least effective place to do this is the right lane. The right lane can have traffic because exits are backup up onto the highway. The left lanes are the ones only getting backed up due to brake waves.

I have adaptive cruise with a settable car length and increasing the gap length just makes the cars behind you act more deranged.
I’ve found the only setting that doesn’t make everyone around me fly off the handle is the lowest (one car gap) setting.
I also drive in the diamond lane on long trips and typically have my upper speed limit set well above what the person in front of me is driving.

At that point, you’re the guy doing 15 mph under the limit in the left lane.
Please only attempt this in the right lane.
