What is the Difference Between Cruise Control and Adaptive Cruise Control?
1 Answers
The differences between cruise control and adaptive cruise control are as follows: 1. Different functions: Cruise control can only rely on the driver's manual operation in emergencies; adaptive cruise control can maintain the vehicle's longitudinal movement and will alert the driver and actively intervene with braking when there is a risk of collision. 2. Different applicable road conditions: Cruise control is suitable for good road conditions, such as highways and roads with light traffic; adaptive cruise control is suitable for highway conditions and can also be used in urban road conditions. Cars are equipped with cruise speed control buttons, which can be seen on the steering wheel. The driver can use these buttons to control the distance from the vehicle ahead. If the driver needs to rest, they should place their foot on the edge to the right of the accelerator pedal. This way, even if the accelerator is accidentally pressed, it is difficult to achieve instant acceleration at such high speeds, making it relatively safer.
