Adaptive Cruise Control

Cruise control in Modern cars is more than just maintaining a constant speed. With the help of Adaptive cruise control, the car itself will be able to turn the steering. This technology uses sensor and radar systems to adjust the steering and the throttle of the car with changing traffic flow or road without any cooperative support from other vehicles like V2V connectivity. The control is imposed based on sensor information from on board sensors only. Mitsubishi was the first automaker to offer a laser based ACC system marketed as Preview Distance Control in 1995 on the Japanese version of Diamante. Acura first introduced Adaptive Cruise Control integrated with a Collision Mitigation Braking System in the late 2005 in the United States.
