I tried leaving it at 1 and when traffic moved, my follow distance was uncomfortably close and speed was erratic. Leaving it at 2 allowed waaaay too much distance even when stopped. The big issue as I see it, is the system's weak or slow or complete inability to adjust the set parameters to the actual speed of the vehicle.

Is this normal? I tried it again with an accord in front of me and it was a lot more predictable

no. what was your follow setting?
What I remember is follow setting when stopped roughly correlates to car lengths so 1 is one car length, 2 is 2 car lengths, etc.

This could encourage drivers to try to keep rolling at 2mph instead of stop-and-go. I've driven stick most of my life, so that comes naturally.
