Adaptive Cruise Control is an advanced driver assistance system that enhances both safety and convenience by automatically adjusting vehicle speed based on traffic conditions.
How it works:
- Set Speed:
- Like traditional cruise control, the driver sets a desired speed.
- Sensors & Monitoring:
- Radar and cameras continuously track the road and vehicles ahead.
- Maintaining a Safe Distance:
- ACC automatically adjusts speed to keep a safe following distance from the vehicle in front.
- Speed Variation:
- If the car ahead slows down, Adaptive Cruise Control decelerates accordingly.
- If the road clears, the system accelerates back to the preset speed.
- Braking & Acceleration:
- Some Adaptive Cruise Control systems can bring the vehicle to a complete stop in heavy traffic.
Why it's important:
Adaptive Cruise Control enhances driver comfort and safety by reducing the need for constant speed adjustments, helping prevent rear-end collisions, and making long drives more effortless.
