What does ACC adaptive cruise control system mean?
2 Answers
ACC adaptive cruise control system refers to an intelligent automatic control system, which is developed on the basis of the existing cruise control technology. During vehicle driving, the distance sensor (radar) installed at the front of the vehicle continuously scans the road ahead, while the wheel speed sensor collects the vehicle speed signal. When the distance to the vehicle ahead is too small, the ACC control unit can coordinate with the anti-lock braking system and engine control system to appropriately brake the wheels and reduce the engine's output power, ensuring that the vehicle always maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
I just bought a new car with ACC, which stands for Adaptive Cruise Control. I use it frequently during my daily commute. Unlike traditional cruise control that only maintains speed, ACC uses radar or cameras to monitor the vehicle ahead and automatically adjusts speed to maintain a safe distance. I often drive on highways, and after setting a speed, I don’t have to constantly press the accelerator or brake. It’s especially useful in traffic jams, saving me the hassle of manual adjustments. Previously, long drives made me drowsy, but now ACC helps reduce fatigue and enhances safety. Although the technology is a bit pricey, it’s worth it in the long run, especially since many cars now come equipped with it. Paired with automatic emergency braking, it adds even more peace of mind. Overall, ACC is quite practical and makes driving easier. I’d recommend anyone considering it to test-drive first to experience the real benefits.
