Does Cruise Control Harm the Car?

[SpencerLee]

Cruise control does not harm the car. Here is a detailed introduction to situations where cruise control should not be used: 1. Mountainous or winding roads: Normally, when exiting a curve, it is necessary to appropriately accelerate to provide greater steering force. In cruise control mode, the vehicle automatically maintains a constant speed, with the throttle controlled by the onboard computer, which can often pose a danger when driving on winding roads. Under such conditions, it is advisable to control the speed appropriately. 2. Roads with dense crowds or heavy traffic: Using cruise control on urban roads with dense crowds and heavy traffic makes it difficult to adjust the speed promptly according to actual road conditions, increasing the risk of traffic accidents. Similarly, if there is heavy traffic on highways or sections marked as accident-prone, it is best to avoid using cruise control. 3. Rainy or snowy weather: Due to slippery road surfaces caused by rain or snow, the car's handling is reduced, and road visibility is poor. Drivers should maintain constant control over the speed, so cruise control should not be used.
