What does car cruise mean?

Car cruise, also known as automatic cruise, is used to control the constant speed driving of a car. Once the car is set to cruise mode, the fuel supply of the engine is controlled by the computer. The computer continuously adjusts the fuel supply based on road conditions and the driving resistance of the car, ensuring that the car maintains the set speed without the need to operate the throttle. The purposes of using an automatic cruise system are: 1. It can reduce driver fatigue and free the right foot; 2. It avoids engine speed fluctuations, improving fuel economy; 3. It precisely controls the driving speed, preventing speeding. The constant speed cruise system is independent of the transmission type, and both manual and automatic transmissions can be equipped with it.
