Cruise control annoyance

I have a 2024 Transport and love it.
We've taken it on a few road trips. I notice that when I have the cruise control engaged, it will slow for a vehicle that is exiting the freeway. I haven't had this happen with other cars and it is quite annoying. The exiting vehicle is safely out of my area, but I have to accelerate to maintain my speed.
Can anyone share a solution?

This happens on a variety of occasions. Although the system is very smart, when approaching an off-ramp, the vehicle is unsure whether we intend to go straight or take the ramp. Because of this, it makes the "safer" choice which is match the speed of the vehicle exiting. After driving my 2023 Pilot TS for 30K miles I just anticipate this and go manual for those events. Otherwise I love adaptive cruise control for long drives. Also, I agree that a longer following distance reduces the effects of this, or you can also veer a little extra to the left at the ramp and usually the car figures it out more quickly.

With the cruise control enabled but not in use, press and hold the follow-distance button to switch to the cruise control mode you like. There is no perfect adaptive cruise control. Switch it to regular cruise if you prefer.
