Adaptive Cruise Control problems of the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas

Using adaptive cruise control with lane departure. Driving on a straight stretch of interstate with audio (music) at high level. Car suddenly braked and jerked wheel right risking a crash. Vehicle does not do well on straight stretches of road. Thinks driver is not steering, and will populate a msg on dash, followed by a red light and a signal tone. These aren't easily noticed when head is up and eyes on road with audio level high. Vw should change this to remove braking and instead it deactivates cruise and/or wheel vibrate only.
