Which is More Practical: Adaptive Cruise Control or Cruise Control?

[MacMadelyn]

ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) can better alleviate driver fatigue to a certain extent and is more intelligent. Here is a relevant introduction to adaptive cruise control and cruise control: 1. Cruise Control: CCS (Cruise Control System) consists of four parts: command switch, vehicle speed sensor, electronic throttle actuator, and ECU. However, this function generally has a minimum speed limit set by vehicles, meaning the onboard computer will maintain a "continuous and stable" speed only when a certain speed is reached. Apart from this, operations like steering and braking still require the driver's control. 2. Adaptive Cruise Control: ACC can be considered an upgraded version of cruise control. During driving, the distance sensor (radar) installed at the front of the vehicle continuously scans the road ahead, while the wheel speed sensor collects speed signals. When the distance to the vehicle in front becomes too small, the ACC control unit can coordinate with the anti-lock braking system and engine control system to apply appropriate braking and reduce engine output power, thereby maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
