It works in conjunction with a radar system, such as Bendix Wingman, and it adjusts the speed of the cruise control in accordance with the following distances behind vehicles in front of you, so that you maintain a safe following distance.

What is meant by active cruise control?

It's the advanced version of cruise control used to prevent rear end collisions on interstates. Many luxury cars have this which is also known as adaptive cruise control - most all have the stop/go feature too.


How does adaptive cruise control work?

There is a distance sensor (think radar or sonar) in the front bumper or grill to measure how far away any vehicle is. The computer can than shut cruise down or apply brakes automatically.

Adaptive system and non-adaptive system?

Adaptive systems are ones that are continually changing to meet the demands of the environment. Non-adaptive systems do not change.


What are the disadvantages of adaptive cruise control?

A cut in vehicle scenario, detection limitation in bends, and motorcycle escape are just some few examples of driving conditions in which ACC system doesn't work properly.

Difference between adaptive and non adaptive algorithm?

Non adaptive algorithm requires any changes to be made manually. Adaptive algorithms are able to make any changes automatically.


Will all the radar detectors be set off by radar-based cruise control systems?

Not all detectors, mostly the lower end models will be affected by radar-based cruise control. There have been some reports of higher-end ones (think Valentine) having problems as well. Many radar producers are working to correct this problem since more car manufacturers are going to Adaptive Cruise Control.
