Adaptive
Cruise Control
Adaptive
cruise control, also known as intelligent cruise control by
some automakers, a technological progression of cruise control,
in which a radar sensor mounted on the front of a vehicle
supplies information that is used to maintain a safe cruising
distance from the vehicle immediately ahead. Most adaptive
cruise control systems allow the driver to set the minimum
desired distance between vehicles, and will then accelerate
and brake to maintain this gap. Many systems can take into
account hilly terrain and passing situations. All have the
ability to behave like regular cruise control, and still require
the driver to steer the vehicle normally.
