Adoptive Cruise Control(ACC)

Adaptive Cruise Control is also called Autonomous Cruise Control, Active Cruise Control, and Radar Cruise Control. Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is an intelligent form of cruise control which is used in Aviation.

In this system there is a small radar unit behind the front grille or under the bumper. Some ACC has laser and an optical system based on stereoscopic cameras. ACC works day and night.

ACC fitted vehicle slows down and speeds up automatically to maintain safe distance with the car in front of you.

You have to set the speed and the required time gap with buttons on steering wheel then a radar sensor watches for traffic ahead, locks on to the car in a your lane and instructs the car to stay behind the car ahead of you as per the distance set by you. If distance become less, ACC starts working in conjunction with an automatic gearbox and Braking system, and can brake the vehicle to a complete standstill in slow-moving traffic. Again depending on the situation, ACC then automatically accelerates the vehicle within a defined time frame at the speed set by you.

Lane driving is a must to use this feature in your car.
