Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) uses radar, lasers, cameras, or a combination of these tools to assess your surroundings. Its sensors and processors monitor the behavior of the car in front of you and adjust your car's speed to maintain a safe distance. It applies brakes when the car in front slows down and accelerates when it speeds up, all while staying within the set speed limit. In the future, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) could also be used to create a more detailed 3D map of the car's surroundings, but currently, no cars in America are equipped with LiDAR.
