A key part of an ACC system is the range sensor, such as a radar, lidar or video camera, which measures the distance and relative speed of the two successive vehicles. In the absence of a vehicle ahead, a vehicle equipped with ACC travels at a speed set by the user controlling the accelerator, much like operating a CCC system.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-37086 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/adaptive-cruise-control-switch-2.jpg\" alt=\"Adaptive cruise control switch\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carsp.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/adaptive-cruise-control-switch-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/carsp.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/adaptive-cruise-control-switch-2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carsp.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/adaptive-cruise-control-switch-2-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:30px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#ccc\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-3-5\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/p>\n<h2>Pros<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Increases comfort and safety for the driver, is functional for long trips, and in turn optimizes fuel use and engine performance.<\/li>\n<li>It allows you to set and manipulate the speed more precisely, for which steering wheel controls are available.<\/li>\n<li>Considerably improves attention to the rest of the elements of the road and avoids both visual and physical effort that can occur in the driver.<\/li>\n<li>By maintaining safety distances and regulating speed, it improves traffic at an overall level, by generating a smoother drive (i.e., all vehicles traveling at same speed), all the while reducing accidents.<\/li>\n<li>This technology is becoming increasingly standard or optional in best-selling vehicles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:30px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#ccc\"><\/div><\/p>\n<h2>Cons<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Depending on where you drive, ACC can generate a type of relaxation on the part of the driver that can easily distract them (i.e., lower concentration on the driving task).<\/li>\n<li>Depends on the terrain and the qualities of the road for optimal performance.<\/li>\n<li>The effectiveness of automatic braking is not comparable to that of the brake pedal, which is why driver vigilance is required.<\/li>\n<li>If drivers can set the following distance, some of them may set it so they are too close to a vehicle in front of them increasing the risk of a rear end collision in case of a rapid necessity of takeover.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-5\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"su-note shadow-container spoiler avss-common-names\"  style=\"border-color:transparent;border-radius:8px;-moz-border-radius:8px;-webkit-border-radius:8px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:transparent;border-color:transparent;color:#333333;border-radius:8px;-moz-border-radius:8px;-webkit-border-radius:8px;\"><\/p>\n<h2>Common names<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Adaptive cruise control<\/li>\n<li>Adaptive cruise control with low speed<\/li>\n<li>Adaptive cruise control with tail assist<\/li>\n<li>Adaptive cruise control with stop<\/li>\n<li>Adaptive cruise control with Stop &amp; Go<\/li>\n<li>Advanced Intelligent Cruise Control (ASCC)<\/li>\n<li>Dynamic cruise control of all speeds<\/li>\n<li>Camera-based cruise control<\/li>\n<li>Distance assistance<\/li>\n<li>Distance pilot<\/li>\n<li>Distronic<\/li>\n<li>Active Distronic<\/li>\n<li>Distronic Plus<\/li>\n<li>Cruise control with dynamic radar<\/li>\n<li>Cruise control with high-speed dynamic radar<\/li>\n<li>Smart Cruise Control (ICC)<\/li>\n<li>OEM 1 Adaptive cruise control with Stop &amp; Go<\/li>\n<li>OEM 2 Radar cruise control<\/li>\n<li>Smart cruise control (stop\/start)<\/li>\n<li>Traffic-conscious cruise control<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:30px 0;border-width:1px;border-color:#ccc\"><\/div>\n<h2>Latest Publications on PubMed<\/h2>\n<p>Search results for: <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=%22adaptive+cruise+control%22&amp;sort=date\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">adaptive cruise control<\/a><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"feedzy-47409683fd60f015d63d6ef890b0020a feedzy-rss\"><ul>Feed has no items.<\/ul> <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does it work?
