I don't trust that technology either.

Another thing, yes, some adaptive cruise systems set off your V1 detector. Infiniti has used a laser, and so does Lexus. Unless they just changed what frequency they use, it was still laser. That's for the poster who said it was only HF Radio. Sets off my V1 every time. So do the neon high-mounted stoplamps on the old GMC Envoy and Chevy Trailblazer. V1 owners know what I'm talking about.
Toyota uses millimeter radar for its adaptive cruise control. I can say after a year of using it, I completely trusted it. I don't know what others use, but the radar unit sits right behind the Toyota logo on equipped Prius. The logo itself is a special plastic on the models with radar. The Prius I had also has auto parking (worthless!). It is controlled by ultrasound transceivers on the front corners of the car. The lane keep assist (keeps you centered in a lane, even will take turns for you as long as you hold the wheel) uses a camera mounted in the rear view mirror that reads the lines on the road.
I have to assume it is the same system that Lexus uses.
