2. What Is Adaptive Cruise
Control?
•Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is a system designed to help
vehicles maintain a safe following distance and stay within the
speed limit. This system adjusts a car's speed automatically so
drivers don't have to.
•Adaptive cruise control is one of 20 terms used to describe its
functions so that you might see adaptive cruise control as the
following in advertisements and vehicle descriptions:
• oActive cruise control
• oDynamic cruise control
• oRadar cruise control
• oAutomatic cruise control

3. • ACC functions by sensory technology installed within vehicles
such as cameras, lasers, and radar equipment, which creates
an idea of how close one car is to another, or other objects on
the roadway. For this reason, ACC is the basis for future car
intelligence.
• These sensory technologies allow the car to detect and warn
the driver about potential forward collisions. When this
happens, red lights begin to flash, and the phrase 'brake now!'
appears on the dashboard to help the driver slow down. There
might also be an audible warning

4. Types of Adaptive Cruise
Control
•Radar-Based Systems
According to e-Info Chips,radar-based systemswork by placing radar-
based sensors on or around plastic fasciasto detect your vehicle's
surroundings. Each radar sensor works together to create a
comprehensive picture of the vehicle's proximity to other cars or
potentially hazardous objects. This type of sensor can look different
depending on the design and model of the car.
•Laser-Based Systems
As mentioned byElectronic Design, this type of ACC system operates
out of a large black box typicallyplaced in the grilleof your vehicle. It
uses laser technology to detect the proximity of objects to your car. It
does not operate well during rainstorms and other weather conditions.

5. •Multi-Sensor Systems
According to Fierce Electronics, adaptive cruise control systems
sometimes integrate more than one type of sensor to aid in a vehicle's
operation. Multi-sensor systems incorporate several different sensor
types to provide a driver with advanced information. These sensors
mightinclude GPS data equipmentor cameras to gather information
about a vehicle's geographic environment and proximity to other cars.
•Predictive Systems
As mentioned by Auto blog,prediction systemsare a type of ACC that
uses sensory data to predict the actions of neighboring vehicles. This
means that your car might slow down to brace for another vehicle
suddenly switching lanes and, in doing so, promotes passenger safety.
• Adaptive cruise control is evolving each year. Car companies are
continuously making adjustments to this technology and, in doing
so, creating more common and affordable options that can be
purchased with a new car or added to older car models, making
driving safer for everyday people.

6. Advantages of Adaptive Cruise
Control
• Some key advantages of adaptive cruise control mentioned by
MyCarDoesWhat.org include an increase in road safety, as cars
with this technology will keep the adequate spacing between
them and other vehicles. These space-mindful features will
also help prevent accidents that result from an obstructed
view or close following distance. Similarly, ACC will help
maximize traffic flow because of its spatial awareness. As a
driver, you don't have to worry about your speed, and instead,
you can focus on what is going on around you.

7. Limitations of Adaptive Cruise
Control
• Although there are many advantages to adaptive cruise
control, there are still limitations to consider. One of the main
faults in this system is the fact that it is not entirely
autonomous. The driver of the vehicle still needs to practice
safe driving habits that will work in tandem with this
technology to produce the best results. Similarly, adverse
weather conditions like snow, rain, or fog might confuse the
system's sensors, as well as environmental factors such as
driving through tunnels.
