Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Automatically adjusts vehicle speed to maintain safe distance from traffic ahead.
Adaptive cruise control combines radar and camera data to measure distance and relative speed to the car in front. It adjusts throttle and braking automatically to maintain a preset following gap. ACC enhances comfort during highway driving and forms the foundation of higher-level automation. Some systems include stop-and-go capability for traffic jams. Integration with map data further refines anticipation of curves or speed limits.
