Airline pilots do far less with their hands and feet at cruising speed, yet no aircraft designer would cancel the autopilot because it risks putting the pilots asleep. It's just a matter of doing your duty as a pilot ... and as a driver

[viperxx13]

its very good but with this application in to the car... you get SLEEP EASY... you are not in action when you drive... so you can easy sleep... this you can you when you are normal and for 10-15 minutes to be relax you foots only this...

@viperxx13 Hm, if you need pressing the accelerator to keep awake when driving, then perhaps you shouldn't be driving at all ;)

What if a car drives onto your lane. How intensive would the braking be?

[kwalliander]

@tmk85 it would brake right away, if it judges the distance too short

this is a major step in achieving fully autonomous automobiles. the next car i get i will be sure it has adaptive cruise control because it is complete genius

[kwalliander]

@counterclockwise123 it doubles the value of any car

[TheHappyKamper]

Does the car also have a rear radar, to ensure it doesn't brake too quickly in front of other traffic?

[iJunglehazel]

Im getting that!

[scoot24925]

@erik4727 shit mate,in a long journey 50 km straight road you get bored to death just to drive straight and only on 120 km/h,just relax and let the CC do its job.

It's a manual or an automatic transmission ? Or better said, could you equip your car with this adaptive cruise control in combination with a manual transmission, or just with an automatic one? Thanks.
