adaptive cruise control betekenis

Slim veiligheidssysteem voor extra gemoedsrust.

Adaptive cruise control: wat is het en hoe werkt het.

29 juli 2019

Steeds meer nieuwe modellen zijn leverbaar met Adaptive Cruise Control, ook bij Mitsubishi Motors. Enig idee wat het is en hoe dit slimme systeem werkt? We leggen het hier uit.

Zelf aanpassend systeem

De reguliere cruise control kennen we al sinds de jaren veertig. Met deze snelheidsregelaar kun je de rijsnelheid van de auto ‘vastzetten’, zodat je zelf het gaspedaal niet hoeft te bedienen. Dit systeem wordt echter steeds vaker vervangen door een adaptieve variant van de cruise control.

Adaptief betekent ‘zich aanpassend’. Bij een auto met Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) wordt de snelheid van de auto namelijk automatisch teruggebracht als een voorligger langzamer rijdt dan de door jouw ingestelde rijsnelheid, zonder dat jij als bestuurder iets hoeft te doen.

De minimale afstand die je wilt bewaren tot je voorligger, bepaal je zelf. Op het stuurwiel bij de knoppen om de cruise control te activeren, zit ook een schakelaar die je met je duim omhoog of omlaag kunt klikken. Hiermee kun je de tussenliggende afstand tot je voorligger vergroten of verkleinen.  Afhankelijk van het model wordt dit perfect op het instrumentenpaneel of op de head-up display getoond.

LEES OOK:  Veiligheidssystemen verplicht in 2022: deze heeft Mitsubishi al

Traffic Jam Assist

Als je op de snelweg bijvoorbeeld 120 km/u rijdt met ingeschakelde ACC en iemand voor je rijdt 100 km/u, dan zal de auto automatisch vertragen, eventueel door actief de remmen te bedienen, en continu de door jouw ingestelde afstand bewaren. Als de voorligger van baan voor je neus verdwijnt of accelereert, zal de auto automatisch versnellen tot de ingestelde snelheid.

Ook bij langzaam rijdend in de file verkeer zorgt de ACC voor extra gemoedsrust en minder stress. De ACC kan de auto zelf volledig tot stilstand brengen indien nodig, als bijvoorbeeld plotseling hard geremd wordt. Ook in dit geval helpt het systeem een kop-staartbotsing te voorkomen of de gevolgen daarvan te verminderen. Als de auto tot stilstand gebracht is, schakelt de ACC zich automatisch uit. Dat geldt echter niet voor Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross . Bij dit model wordt de ACC gecombineerd met Traffic Jam Assist. Dat betekent dat de auto ook weer optrekt om het verkeer te blijven volgen. met deze functie was filerijden nog nooit zo ontspannen.

Gezien het feit dat de ACC met Traffic Jam Assist zelfstandig moet kunnen optrekken vanuit stilstand en tot snelheden boven de 100 km/u moet kunnen accelereren, is deze functie alleen beschikbaar voor de Eclipse Cross met automatische transmissie.

Wist je dat?

Mitsubishi Motors was in 1992 de eerste autofabrikant ter wereld die een ‘afstandswaarschuwingssysteem’ introduceerde. Dit systeem was leverbaar op de Mitsubishi Debonair in Japan en gaf een waarschuwingssignaal bij een te kleine afstand tot de voorligger.

Later, in 1995, was Mitsubishi Motors de eerste die een auto met Preview Distance Control leverde. De Mitsubishi Diamante maakte gebruik van een lasersysteem om de afstand tot de voorligger te meten en kon automatisch gas loslaten en terugschakelen bij een te kleine afstand tot de voorligger.

Deze systemen die in de jaren negentig al geleverd werden, waren in feite de vroege voorvaders van de huidige Adaptive Cruise Control. Het voornaamste verschil is dat de elektronica nu zodanig ver ontwikkeld is, dat de remmen automatisch en met de exact benodigde remkracht bediend kunnen worden, en bovendien met een nauwelijks te evenaren reactiesnelheid.

Adaptieve cruisecontrol

Cruise control laat je auto met een constante snelheid rijden. Adaptieve cruisecontrol gaat een stapje verder. Adaptieve cruisecontrol kan ook remmen of gas geven.

Wat doet 'ie?

Rijd je te dicht op je voorganger, minder dan zo’n 2 seconden of 20 meter, dan past de adaptieve cruisecontrol je snelheid automatisch aan. Sommige uitgebreide adaptieve systemen kunnen zelfs filerijden. Deze slimme cruisecontrol is goed voor de verkeersveiligheid en de doorstroming.

Hoe werkt ’ie?

Aan de voorzijde van de auto, bijvoorbeeld in de bumper of binnenspiegel, zit een sensor die meet de afstand tot je voorligger en zijn snelheid. Deze sensor stuurt de informatie naar een computer en vergelijkt die met de ingestelde snelheid en berekent een veilige volgafstand. Moet de snelheid worden aangepast – afremmen of versnellen – dan communiceert de adaptieve cruisecontrol dit met de ABS en motor.

Waardoor slijt ’ie?

De adaptieve cruisecontrol slijt niet, maar de sensor kan wel vuil worden of bij een aanrijding kapotgaan, ook als dat in eerste instantie niet zichtbaar is. In zo’n geval is het verstandig om even langs je garage te rijden.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Adaptive Cruise Control is een handige en fijne innovatie. Deze rijassistent helpt je veiliger, zuiniger en vooral soepeler door het drukke verkeer heen.

wat is Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)?

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is een veiligheidssysteem dat de snelheid van de auto automatisch aanpast om een veilige afstand tot je voorligger te bewaren. Kom je te dichtbij? Dan activeren de remmen vanzelf. Er wordt pas weer gas bij gegeven als de afstand groot genoeg is.

Adaptive Cruise Control meet met een geavanceerde radarsensor in de bumper of grill en een hoge resolutie camera in de achteruitkijkspiegel of voorruit de afstand tot de auto die voor je rijdt. Daarbij houdt de auto de door jou ingestelde snelheid.  Ook bewaart ACC automatisch een zo gelijk mogelijke afstand tot de voorligger. Moet je toch even ingrijpen als bestuurder? Dan geeft jouw auto dat automatisch en op tijd aan. Adaptive Cruise Control is dus zowel slim, handig als veilig.

waarom is Adaptive Cruise Control belangrijk?

1. comfortabel rijden, 2. veiliger rijden, 3. gelijkmatig rijden.

comfortabel rijden

De bestuurder kan comfortabeler rijden en hoeft niet voortdurend zijn voorganger in de gaten te houden.

veiliger rijden

Door gebruik van Adaptive Cruise Control vinden er minder ongelukken plaats en hierdoor wordt het veiliger in het verkeer.

gelijkmatig rijden

De doorstroming van het verkeer op drukke wegen is beter, omdat auto’s door ACC gelijkmatiger rijden.

aan de slag met Adaptive Cruise Control

wanneer gebruik je Adaptive Cruise Control wel of niet?

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is in te schakelen bij een snelheid vanaf 50 km/u. Vanaf dat moment werkt ook de automatische afstandsregeling tot de voorganger. Adaptive Cruise Control is vooral handig voor langere ritten op de snelweg.

Fabrikanten raden aan om deze systemen onder bepaalde omstandigheden niet te gebruiken, onder andere in tunnels. In een tunnel kan ACC namelijk onverwachts reageren en voor verrassingen zorgen. Dit komt onder andere door slechte tunnelverlichting en GPS signaalontvangst, maar ook door onverwacht rijgedrag van andere bestuurders.

hoe moet je Adaptive Cruise Control aan- of uitzetten?

De Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is in te schakelen bij een snelheid vanaf 50 km/u.  In de meeste moderne auto's met Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is er een mogelijkheid om het systeem uit te schakelen. Wil je exact weten hoe je dit doet? Raadpleeg dan  de handleiding van je specifieke auto .

is Adaptive Cruise Control zuinig?

Met behulp van Adaptive Cruise Control rijd je zuiniger dan zonder. Met ACC rijd je namelijk een constante snelheid. Dat betekent minder remmen én minder gas geven. En dit bespaart brandstof. Wanneer je zelf rijdt, is het lastig om de motor een constant toerental te laten draaien.

is Adaptive Cruise Control verplicht?

Elk nieuw automodel en autotype heeft vanaf 2022 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Vanaf 2024 verplicht Europa de autoconstructeurs om die functie ook in alle nieuwe auto's te plaatsen. Het slimme systeem is dus absoluut onmisbaar.

Demystifying Adaptive Cruise Control: A Comprehensive Guide

As an auto tech expert and self-driving car enthusiast, I often get asked about Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and how exactly it works to automatically adjust your car‘s speed. ACC is one of the coolest semi-autonomous technologies available today, making highway drives safer and less stressful. But it‘s also complex under the hood!

In this comprehensive guide, I‘ll give you an in-depth look at ACC – how it works, different types, key benefits, limitations, and what the future holds for adaptive cruise and autonomous driving.

ACC 101 – Adjusting Speed to the Car in Front

ACC uses radar, laser sensors or cameras to monitor the vehicle ahead and adjust your speed accordingly to maintain a preset following distance. If the vehicle in front slows, so does your car – automatically! ACC reduces the constant manual braking and acceleration required in heavy traffic.

Here‘s a quick ACC capability comparison:

ACC delivers a major safety and convenience upgrade from old cruise control technology first introduced in the 1950s. Let‘s look under the hood at how ACC performs this speed adaptation trickery…

ACC Sensor Technology – Radar vs. Laser vs. Camera

ACC systems rely on forward-facing sensors to detect the speed and distance of vehicles ahead. Most ACC systems use radar (radio waves), while some premium vehicles use laser sensors or cameras paired with image processing. Here‘s how each sensor approach works:

Radar Adaptive Cruise Control

• Uses radio waves in the 24 GHz or 77 GHz frequency bands
• Excellent range (160m+) and unaffected by weather
• Distributed beam provides wide field of view
• Cannot identify shape and classification of objects
• Overall the most robust and widely adopted ACC technology

Laser Adaptive Cruise Control

• LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) laser sensors
• Very high resolution and accuracy
• Narrow, focused beam with longer range than radar
• Performance impacted by weather and dirt
• Limited adoption due to higher cost

Camera-Based Adaptive Cruise Control

• Uses front-facing camera and video processing
• Can visually identify vehicles braking ahead
• Shorter effective range with narrow field of view
• Limited use for ACC, better for lane centering

Radar ACC is the most common since it combines long range, wide scanning angle, with reasonable cost. However, some automakers like Toyota and BMW use both radar and cameras to complement each other.

Real World ACC Performance

In optimal highway conditions, ACC works exceptionally well to adapt your vehicle‘s speed based on traffic ahead. However, ACC has limitations that require driver supervision:

Following distance – Most systems allow setting 1,2 or 3 second gap to car ahead. Younger drivers tend to prefer the risky 1 second gap!

Cut-ins – When a vehicle changes lane in front, ACC response can be delayed

Curves & hills – Around blind turns or over hills, performance drops as radar line-of-sight is lost

Bad weather – Heavy rain, snow, and fog degrade radar and laser sensor effectiveness

Bright light – Low sun angles and bright reflections can overwhelm camera sensors

Small objects – Most ACC systems have trouble consistently detecting motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians

While ACC has its limits, it‘s remarkably helpful day-to-day in reducing driver burden. But expect some occasionally quirky behavior so you‘re not caught off guard!

ACC Availability Across Vehicle Makes

ACC technology premiered in 1992, but only became popular on luxury cars in the early 2000s. ACC is now commonplace across all major auto brands:

And it‘s a standard feature on most luxury vehicles:

With so many automakers offering ACC, it‘s now an expected convenience feature for car buyers.

Comparing OEM Adaptive Cruise Systems

While ACC capabilities are similar across brands, there are some notable differences between automaker systems:

Mercedes-Benz Distronic

• Industry-leading ACC technology since introduced in 1998
• Uses long-range 77 GHz radar + stereo cameras
• Capable of full stop-and-go operation
• Automatically adjusts speed for curves and junctions

GM Super Cruise

• Camera + radar ACC combined with precision GPS mapping
• Enables hands-free driving on limited access highways
• Driver attention monitoring via face tracking camera

Nissan ProPilot Assist

• Budget ACC + lane centering system
• Smooth performance but more limited capability
• Delayed responses compared to premium systems

Toyota Dynamic Radar Cruise

• Lower speed operation down to 25mph
• Conservative speed adjustment when following
• Prone to leaving large gaps in traffic

Overall Mercedes sets the benchmark for ACC performance and capability in my opinion, with German automakers continuing to lead the way.

Adding ACC to Older Vehicles

You don‘t need to buy a new car to experience ACC convenience. There are aftermarket ACC systems available to add radar-based speed adaptation to older vehicles:

Comma Two : $1100 standalone ACC system powered by camera and radar sensors. Installs by connecting directly to vehicle CAN bus. Impressive capabilities given aftermarket nature.

Autocruise : $2500 ACC system requiring professional installation. Uses front camera and radar sensors. Provides ACC + lane centering.

RoadMate : $1800 radar-only ACC system. Easier self-install with OBDII plug-in. But limited braking capability.

Aftermarket systems provide a taste of ACC and advanced driver assist capabilities. But overall, OEM automaker ACC integration delivers a smoother and more reliable driver experience.

The Road to Fully Autonomous Driving

A key benefit of ACC systems is paving the way for fully autonomous self-driving vehicle (SDV) technology. The cruise control computers, radars, and cameras ACC relies on provide the foundational sensing and actuation building blocks for SDVs.

Here are some of the key ACC enhancements feeding into full autonomy:

Improved camera imaging – Higher resolution, HDR, night vision, wider field of view

Sensor fusion – Combining radar, camera and ultrasounds for 360 degree coverage

Tighter vehicle integration – Braking and steering authority expanded beyond ACC

Detailed 3D mapping – Ultra-precise maps enable self-driving without relying solely on sensors

V2X communication – Sharing intent and sensor data with nearby vehicles, infrastructure

Redundant systems – Backup sensors, computers, and actuators to maximize safety

The big challenge is mastering full self-driving in complex urban environments. While ACC handles long boring highway drives, crowded city streets require an entirely new level of autonomous driving expertise.

Optimizing ACC for the Future

As an auto tech expert, I see great potential ahead for ACC technology. But there are also improvements I‘d love to see:

Quicker reactions – Faster stopping when vehicle cuts in front

All speed operation – ACC availability even in start-stop traffic

Improved object detection – Identifying pedestrians, cyclists, animals

Left/right radar – Side-facing sensors to monitor blind spots

Personalization – Driver tailored ACC preferences and profiles

Intuitive controls – Simplifying overly complex ACC settings menus

Seamless transitions – Handoff between ACC, lane centering and parking systems

Driver monitoring – Alerts for distraction and loss of attention

With future refinement, ACC can move beyond just being a convenience feature and provide truly safe semi-autonomous driving.

Challenges Facing Consumer ACC Adoption

Despite the benefits of ACC, there are still barriers to mass consumer adoption:

Cost – Only available on higher trim models outside budget for many car buyers

Trust – Drivers underestimate capabilities and effectiveness of ACC

Complexity – Many settings overwhelm drivers new to the technology

Reliability – Sensor degradation and performance concerns over vehicle lifetime

Education – Lack of ACC training for consumers

Addressing these challenges will be key for ACC to transition from a luxury feature to a standard capability that drivers actually use day-to-day.

Testing and Validating Adaptive Cruise Systems

Before ACC systems hit the road, automakers put them through rigorous testing to ensure safety:

Hardware-in-the-Loop – Validating ACC sensor + ECU integration

Test track assessment – Repeated runs observing ACC capability in action

Scenario testing – Emulating cut-ins, curved roads, weather effects

Naturalistic driving – Recording ACC use in real uncontrolled driving

Simulation – Modeling ACC components and logic virtually

Public road testing – Validation in early prototype vehicles

Safety audits – Third-party review of ACC functionality

Months of testing provides confidence in ACC operation. But it‘s impossible to evaluate every edge case scenario an ACC system may encounter once on the road.

Insider ACC Troubleshooting Tips

To dig deeper into ACC, I connected with Sam who works on ACC radar sensor calibration at General Motors. He shared some pro tips on troubleshooting ACC issues:

"One problem we see is radar misalignment that prevents ACC from detecting vehicles ahead accurately. This can occur if the radar or front bumper gets even slightly shifted, say due to a minor collision. I recommend first visually inspecting the radar position and realigning if necessary. Also watch out for mud or snow buildup around the sensor which can block radio waves."

"Software bugs are another ACC gremlin, like incorrect gap distance or delayed braking. But these can often be remedied with an ECU update at the dealership. And make sure the windshield in front of the camera is squeaky clean for camera-based systems! Dirty glass is an easy pitfall."

So when ACC acts up, check for sensor obstructions, misalignment, and also ask your dealer to verify the latest software is installed.

I hope this ACC deep dive has helped shed light on how this clever technology works and what the future holds. Let me know if you have any other ACC questions!

What is adaptive cruise control?

It’s not a stretch to call cruise control one of the earliest driving aids. It wasn’t always electronic, and it certainly didn’t make your grandfather’s 1982 Cadillac Seville autonomous, but it was a revolutionary invention. (Although here’s a fun fact: Your grandfather’s Buick had the first infotainment system way back in 1986.)

What to look for in an adaptive cruise control system

What do automakers call adaptive cruise control, are there aftermarket adaptive cruise control systems, who does adaptive cruise control best.

Adaptive cruise control takes it to the next level. It maintains a set speed for your vehicle, like a conventional cruise control system, but it also adjusts the speed based on the traffic flow. Better systems can come you a full stop in heavy traffic and continue when congestion lightens. This technology can make cruise control more useful by taking some (but not all) of the workload off the driver. Here’s what it is, and how it works.

The concept is simple: Make the car accelerates and decelerates automatically depending on how quickly the cars around it are moving. The devil’s in the details, however.

• GM to cut funding for beleaguered driverless startup Cruise, report claims
• Cruise woes prompt production halt of fully driverless van
• Cruise autonomous vehicle drives over woman just after she was hit by another car

To do it, a car must be equipped with sensors that allow it to detect nearby vehicles and potential obstacles. Most adaptive cruise control systems use radar, with high resolution radar on the horizon, although a camera and lidar (which works on the same principle as radar, but with light waves) can be used as well. You can often spot these cameras integrated into the grille or mounted behind the windshield. These sensors communicate with a computer that controls the throttle and, sometimes, the brakes and the steering system.

In its most basic form, adaptive cruise control technology only handles acceleration and deceleration, usually by following the car in front and maintaining a set following distance. Some automakers have started bundling this feature with a system that can bring the car to a full stop if needed, which comes in handy in a traffic jam, and/or one that provides a limited amount of steering assistance to keep the car centered in its lane.

Adaptive cruise control is at the center of the pile of electronic driving aids some automakers believe could form the basis of fully autonomous driving . We’re nowhere near autonomous cars, though, and it’s important not to mistake adaptive cruise control and other related technologies for full autonomy. These systems are designed to help the driver, not to drive the car themselves while the driver dozes off or counts blue cars going the other way.

Adaptive cruise control is sometimes known as dynamic radar cruise control or intelligent cruise control, and most automakers give the system brand names to make it more marketable. Regardless, the basic idea is that a car accelerates and decelerates automatically depending on how quickly the cars around it are moving.

BMW:  Active Cruise Control, Active Cruise Control with Stop and Go Cadillac: Super Cruise Honda and Acura:  Adaptive Cruise Control, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow Hyundai:  Smart Cruise Control Kia:  Advanced Smart Cruise Control Mercedes-Benz:  Active Distance Assist Distronic Nissan and Infiniti: Intelligent Cruise Control, a part of Nissan’s ProPilot 2.0 system Subaru: Adaptive Cruise Control, Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, part of the brand’s EyeSight package Tesla: Autopilot Toyota and Lexus : Dynamic Cruise Control, Dynamic Cruise Control with Stop and Go

This is one technology that cannot easily be retrofitted to an existing car. The complexity of adaptive cruise control systems puts them beyond the reach of the aftermarket. Considering that these systems can mean the difference between a car driving along and a car smashing into the back of another vehicle, concerns over liability will probably keep adaptive cruise control firmly within the domain of the original equipment manufacturers for the time being.

Like systems available from other automakers, Cadillac’s Super Cruise  allows the car to accelerate, steer, and brake without driver intervention on highways. But Cadillac is the only automaker to specifically claim that drivers can take their hands off the wheel. That’s because Cadillac did a thorough job in setting up Super Cruise. Not only does the system rely on an array of cameras, radar, and lidar, but Cadillac also mapped 200,000 miles of highway. Super Cruise also has a driver-facing camera, and will only work if a certain level of driver alertness is maintained.

It’s too bad Super Cruise isn’t widely available, at least, not yet. Cadillac launched the system on its flagship CT6 sedan but has been slow to expand to other models. With the CT6 set to be discontinued, Cadillac finally announced that Super Cruise will be available on the CT4 and CT5 sedans when they go on sale in the coming months. Those sedans use a new electrical architecture that can support Super Cruise.

Subaru’s EyeSight system uses cameras instead of radar, bringing down its cost and making installation of the hardware a bit easier. EyeSight bundles adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping assist, a “pre-collision throttle management” feature that cuts the throttle ahead of an anticipated collision, and low-speed autonomous emergency braking. On some models, Subaru has also added a driver-facing camera to ensure the driver stays alert while these features are in use.

Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes offers one of the most comprehensive adaptive cruise control and driver-assistance suites of any automaker. Its latest Distronic Plus system can keep up with traffic, but also brake the car to a full stop in stop-and-go situations. The system will automatically resume driving if the car remains stopped for less than three seconds; longer stops require a tap of the accelerator pedal or of the cruise control’s “resume” button. A steering-assist feature helps keep the car centered in its lane, and certain versions of the system can initiate lane changes.

Tesla’s Autopilot system  has attracted its share of controversy, and the name is a bit misleading considering that a human driver must be kept in the loop, but it’s still one of the most advanced systems of its kind. In addition to following traffic and automatically keeping a car in its lane, Autopilot can execute lane changes with the flick of a turn signal, and negotiate some highway off-ramps. Tesla’s ability to pull data from cars using the system and launch over-the-air software updates means Autopilot has significant potential to improve over time.

It’s no surprise that an automaker obsessed with safety was an early adopter of adaptive cruise control. Volvo was also one of the first automakers to pair the technology with autonomous emergency braking, allowing a car to both automatically follow a vehicle in front and brake if it encounters an obstacle. Volvo’s latest Pilot Assist II system doesn’t need to track a vehicle ahead, can a keep a car centered in its lane, and can operate at speeds up to 80 mph.

What is adaptive cruise control (acc).

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an intelligent driver assistance feature that works as an enhancement to traditional cruise control. Using a system of advanced sensors such as radar and cameras, ACC determines the speed and conditions of surrounding traffic and automatically adjusts cruising speed to maintain a safe distance within the flow of traffic. Many ACC systems can also recognize sudden changes in traffic conditions and alert the driver to take action to prevent a crash. 

Depending on vehicle manufacturer and the system itself, any number of other terms might be used interchangeably with Adaptive Cruise Control, including: 

• Active Cruise Control
• Dynamic Cruise Control
• Automatic Cruise Control
• Intelligent Cruise Control
• Smart Cruise Control
• Radar Cruise Control

How does Adaptive Cruise Control Work?

ACC uses a set of intelligent sensors including radar, lidar, lasers, GPS, and cameras. These sensors are placed around a vehicle’s exterior to monitor the road and nearby vehicles. Gathering real-time data on the distance away and speed of the vehicle in front, these sensors allow the ACC system to adjust the car’s speed as-needed. Typically, the driver sets their desired cruising speed when they engage ACC on the highway. The system then automatically accelerates and decelerates to stay at a safe distance from other cars within the flow of traffic. 

Much like using traditional cruise control, activating ACC is intentionally simple so that a driver can easily use it while keeping their eyes safely on the road. Generally, the dedicated ACC button or switch is located on the steering wheel or control panel. Pressing or toggling this mechanism allows the driver to set their initial cruising speed. In some systems, drivers can also set their desired following distance. 

While operating, certain ACC systems can take extra measures for safety and convenience purposes:

• Maintaining a particular distance from vehicles ahead
• Making complete stops in traffic and restarting from a complete stop when traffic resumes
• Remaining engaged at low speeds in city traffic
• Anticipating and automatically slowing around upcoming curves
• Adjusting to posted speed limits as they change

Once in operation, the ACC system remains working until the driver disengages by either pressing the brake pedal or manually deactivating the system using the dedicated switch or button. Sometimes, ACC will use visual and audio cues to alert the driver to brake if it detects a possible collision ahead. In these instances, the driver must then re-engage the system once traffic resumes.

Benefits of Adaptive Cruise Control

Some of the benefits of adaptive cruise control include creating a more relaxed driving experience, particularly during long road trips and on highways, thanks to the system’s ability to adjust automatically to traffic speed variations and road conditions. Additionally, ACC encourages safe driving practices and helps reduce crash risk by monitoring following distance and alerting the driver or intervening if a vehicle is quickly approaching. Drivers using ACC may also see improved fuel efficiency, especially on the highway, since the system helps maintain an even speed and reduces unnecessary acceleration and braking.

Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control in Subaru Vehicles

The Subaru application of ACC is known as Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control. This feature functions seamlessly as part of our EyeSight ® Driver Assist technology —a comprehensive suite of safety features designed to enhance the driving experience. Nearly all Subaru models and trims come standard with EyeSight and Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, including some of our most popular models like the Outback , Forester , Crosstrek , and Impreza . EyeSight is an available feature on our performance sports models with automatic transmissions, including the WRX and the BRZ , as well as those with manual transmissions.

Cars with Adaptive Cruise Control: Everything You Need to Know

Cars with adaptive cruise control used to be considered a luxury only featured in state-of-the-art vehicles. Still, with technological advancements, adaptive cruise control is now a common feature found in many different car models.

Cars with adaptive cruise control used to be considered a luxury only featured in state-of-the-art vehicles. Still, with technological advancements, adaptive cruise control is now a common feature found in many different car models. Autobytel says this means ACC is now accessible to everyone, and even if your current vehicle doesn't have ACC, you can always have it installed.

What Does Adaptive Cruise Control Do?

Adaptive cruise control uses advanced sensory technology to determine your car's speed in proximity to other vehicles or objects on or around the roadway. It applies moderate brakes and warning signals when a driver is getting to close to another car. Drivers can set the speed limit on the ACC so that they don't exceed the speed limit, but when the sensory technology detects traffic or other unsafe conditions, it reduces the driver's speed to adapt to them.

The Best Cars With Adaptive Cruise Control

1. 2020 bmw 3 series.

This brand new model offers the best combination of sensory technology . It uses cameras in addition to ultrasonic and radar sensors to pull data about the environment surrounding the vehicle. In addition to its sensory features, it also has a "stop-and-go" brake feature, great for commuters who spend extended amounts of time in stand-still traffic as it alleviates the stress on the driver's legs and feet. What's more, the camera sensor can pick up traffic signs such as speed limit signs and reduce or increase speed to match the recommended rate of speed.

2. 2020 Volvo S60

This new model by Volvo has a "Pilot Assist" feature, which makes driving safe and easy. What this feature does is it helps the driver maintain the proper speed with neighboring vehicles, and it also provides steering assistance along with automatic braking or accelerating for situations such as stop-and-go to free-flowing traffic. Another great aspect of this model is that it doesn't rely on a lead car to determine speed and spacing, so you can use it even when you aren't near another car.

3. 2020 Hyundai Sonata

This new Hyundai model has the same technological systems as other Hyundai models, called "SmartSense advanced driving assistance systems." The 2020 Hyundai Sonata includes SmartSense features such as five cameras, three radar sensors, and 12 ultrasonic sensors to help with things such as advanced cruise control, stop-and-go feature, warning signals, and automatic braking or accelerating.

4. 2020 Nissan Altima

The 2020 Nissan Altima features Nissan's "ProPilot Assist" system, which uses advanced technology to help drivers practice safe driving. It allows drivers with automatic acceleration and braking for speed and distance control, while it also uses automatic steering to help them maintain lane control. These helpful features are made possible by its front-facing cameras, sensors, radar, and electronic control module.

5. 2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback

This new model provides drivers with an adaptive cruise control system, specifically designed for highway travel. Its cruise control features include cameras within the car and radar sensors on the front grille that can gauge your car's proximity and speed when compared to other vehicles around you. Similarly, these sensors help determine the rate of speed of the vehicle in front of you and automatically decrease your speed if the vehicle in front of you slows down.

The Cheapest Cars With Adaptive Cruise Control

According to U.S.News, here are some examples of the cheapest cars you can buy that still have adaptive cruise control features:

1. 2019 Kia Soul

You can get Kia's "smart cruise control" feature as part of their "Primo Package." This add-on is around $4,500 in addition to the original selling-price. You can save energy with its automatic braking system, and also keep a safe following distance thanks to its forward-collision warning feature. In addition to these safety features, the Kia Soul also provides drivers with a heated steering wheel, and in-depth seat adjustments to meet more complex needs for your body type.

2. 2018 Mazda 3

The 2018 Mazda 3 provides drivers with an adaptive cruise control system that detects rear-cross traffic and blind-spot monitoring, great for making safe lane changes. It also offers a "premium equipment package" for just $1,600 in addition to the original selling price. This package gives your vehicle advanced safety features and other add-ons such as a heated steering wheel and a built-in navigation system.

3. 2018 Hyundai Sonata

The 2018 Hyundai Sonata offers buyers the "technology package" for just $1,000. Included in this package are adaptive cruise control to help drivers maintain a safe following distance and adequate speed. This model also comes with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

4. 2018 Toyota Rav4

This 2018 Toyota Rav4 SUV includes an adaptive cruise control system for a fee that increases the original selling price to just above $25,000. When you turn your ACC feature on, it uses its radar sensors to administer collision warnings, automatic braking, and acceleration to make sure that your vehicle moves at a safe pace and maintains an appropriate following distance from other vehicles on the roadway at all times.

The 2018 Toyota Rav4's adaptive cruise control system is categorized as "standard equipment" in Toyota's "Safety Sense P suite of technology," Making it a high-tech safety vehicle for a reasonable price point.

5. 2018 Honda Accord

The 2018 Honda Accord features a state-of-the-art adaptive cruise control system called the "Honda Sensing System." This system offers not only adaptive cruise control but also several other useful safety features, including automatic braking for collision prevention and traffic sign recognition.

These features are powered by camera sensing technology that can read traffic signs such as speed limit markers and adjust the Accord's speed to fit those speed requirements. You can get even more safety features by upgrading to higher-trims.

As adaptive cruise control becomes more readily available, you can find cheap and affordable car models that include much of the same technology as modern luxury cars.
