Duno about newer cars, but in a 2017 model bmw it tends to brake for parked cars quite often when using radar cruise control...

Why would you be using cruise control around parked cars?

Maybe you don't. But ancestor post is suggesting to make it mandatory to avoid tail gating and then it had better work properly.

I didn't realize soft throttling is cruise control.

[–] logi 1 points 3 days ago

Adaptive cruise control is just "go at this speed, but then apply soft throttle". So you're welcome, I guess?
