Is Car Cruise Control Safe?
1 Answers
Car cruise control is safe. Typically, European and American cars are equipped with a brake priority system, and under normal conditions, stepping on the brake will automatically deactivate the cruise control. Cruise control is an easily implemented feature in vehicles with electronic throttles, designed to reduce driver fatigue during long drives and improve driving posture. The cruise control system, also known as the speed control device or autonomous driving system, functions by maintaining the vehicle speed as set by the driver without the need to press the accelerator pedal, allowing the car to travel at a constant speed. Using cruise control on long highway drives means the driver doesn't have to control the accelerator pedal, reducing fatigue and unnecessary speed changes, which can also save fuel.
