What is the difference between adaptive cruise control and regular cruise control?
1 Answers
Adaptive cruise control and regular cruise control differ in the following aspects: 1. Different functions: Adaptive cruise control can adjust the speed within a certain range, while regular cruise control maintains a set speed without adjustments; 2. Different roles: The basic function of adaptive cruise control is to maintain the vehicle's longitudinal movement, and it will alert the driver and actively intervene with braking in case of collision risks. Regular cruise control relies solely on the driver's manual operation in emergencies; 3. Different characteristics: Adaptive cruise control not only maintains the preset speed but can also reduce speed as needed under specific driving conditions, even automatically applying brakes. Regular cruise control eliminates the mechanical control part of traditional cable-operated cruise control systems, using precise electronic control instead for more accurate operation and avoiding the risk of mechanical failures.
