Cruise Control Rapid Acceleration
I can only answer based on personal experience, so I'm sure there are other causes I have not experienced.
In my experience [60+ years of driving] I have observed two reasons:
- Suddenly encountering a very steep incline which rapidly decelerates the vehicle.
- A sudden very strong gust of headwind which also causes rapid deceleration. That could include encountering a very fast moving semitrailer truck rig on a narrow roadway that caused the vehicles to pass very close to each other.
