The Porsche Good To Know app describes Auto Overrun Recuperation as "variable adaptation of overrun recuperation based on data relating to the area around the vehicle." I have used the setting around town, and with COVID-19 the traffic on the highway has been lighter than usual. I had no idea what the auto setting did other than kick in sometimes. It felt inconsistent. The description in the owner's manual was useless.
Earlier today I took a 90 mile drive on the highway. There was traffic. I do not have Adaptive Cruise Control or Innodrive on my Taycan. I discovered that when I lifted my foot off the accelerator the Auto Recuperation setting applied regeneration more aggressively when I was in or approaching traffic. It was actually fun to feel it kick in on the off ramps with cars in front of me. It was similar to the feeling of downshifting with paddle shifters in an ICE vehicle. The Taycan must be using the cameras similar to what it does for Adaptive Cruise Control to detect cars in front of it and apply more regeneration when another car is detected in front of the Taycan. The amount of regeneration is minimal when no cars are around.
