adaptive cruise control

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is a type of advanced driver-assistance system for road vehicles that automatically adjusts the vehicle speed to maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead. As of 2019, it is also called by 20 unique names that describe that basic functionality. This is also known as Dynamic cruise control.Control is based on sensor information from on-board sensors. Such systems may use a radar, laser sensor or a camera setup allowing the vehicle to brake when it detects the car is approaching another vehicle ahead, then accelerate when traffic allows it to.
ACC technology is regarded as a key component of future generations of intelligent cars. The technology enhances passenger safety and convenience as well as increasing road capacity by maintaining optimal separation between vehicles and reducing driver errors. Vehicles with autonomous cruise control are considered a Level 1 autonomous car, as defined by SAE International. When combined with another driver assist feature such as lane centering, the vehicle is considered a Level 2 autonomous car.
Adaptive cruise control does not provide full autonomy: the system only provides some help to the driver, but does not drive the car by itself.

    New owner impressions, queries and of course, gripes!

    Hi all. Took delivery of my IM6 LE last saturday. Spent a few days in the week driving it around London and venturing a little on the motorway. I don't need to go on all the good points. We already know them. The range is actually not too bad. Only charged it once on a public charger near me...

    From MG4 to MGS5

    After 3 years of happy motoring with my MG4, I have today collected a new MGS5 in Piccadilly blue. Typically it’s been raining so the car isn’t now as clean as it was when I picked it up! The salesman explained all of the driving aids and a lot of them were familiar. We were going to drive down...

    Two months in

    Well, just had my LR IM5 for two months and some thoughts. Mostly good of course with one or two niggles. Most notable is the vagueness of the steering which was mentioned by a few road testers - not a deal-breaker but just a thought. Range I have mentioned being low at around 330/340 miles but...

    Front Collision Detection and ACC disabled

    Hi Team, I have a MF SZ EV 2024 model. When I got home last night I hit the park break button but it must not have engaged and rolled about 40cm and hit my house. There is a tiny bit of damage to front of my front end. I went on a long drive that night using ACC and all was working fine but...

    Phantom Bike Spotted by ACC - Caused Severe Braking on Motorway

    I've used the ACC quite a lot on my S5 Trophy and generally like it, it's pretty good at leaving appropriate (adjustable) distance and smooth slowing when someone cuts you up etc, but this is new and a bit weird. I was driving along the motorway with ACC set at 68mph, passing something on the...

    MG5 FL (MY24) manual speed limiter - how to?

    MG5 FL (MY24) manual speed limiter - how to? I'm new to the MG5 EV (FL) - I previously had an MG4 EV - on which I used the (manual) speed limiter just fine. Now I want to use the manual speed limiter on the MG5. But I can't enable it - on the Infotainment Vehicle screen I went to MG Pilot...

    ACC not working.

    Hi All, My HS has a message "ACC Unavailable". Worked fine until last week, then stopped. If I switch it on in the menu it switches off after a few seconds. Is this the software update I've been reading about? Michael.

    Warranty coverage of front sensor

    My 2020 MG ZS EV is generating several error messages (auto-braking, pedestrian sensor, ACC not working). I booked it into an MG dealer, who took a quick look and told me the faults are caused by the front sensor (just below the number plate) having been knocked out of place. The car has had no...

    Underwhelming Purchase

    I bought this a MG3 hybrid+ brand new in November, but I am rapidly becoming frustrated. 1) DAB Radio on has about 6 stations, even then, they cut in and out. 2) MG iSmart App, 3-4 times when it's been cold, I've tried to warm the car up remotely, despite being just 38 yards away, it can't...

    IM5 cruise control beeping.

    We recently picked up a new IM5, and for the most part it's been great, one of the little niggles we have is with cruise control. The minimum distance to the car In front is too large for peak hour traffic (some people will literally pull out from behind you to pull in ahead of you). While...

    Highway impressions

    Hello everyone, I did a first highway trip. The fuel economy (under 6l at 120km/h) and ride comfort was good, even better than cars from bigger brands. The ACC and ICA work well most of the time. However i experienced some facial blushing and ear discomfort. I don't want to develop highway...

    Three Months In An S5

    So I've had my S5 Trophy Looking Range for three months now. Have to say, I'm pretty disappointed overall. There's just so many wee niggles. Wee cost saving annoyances. The non automatic window closing for instance. Or the lack of a light on the vanity mirror under the visor. Then there's the...

    One pedal driving vs KERs

    Hi I have taken delivery of my new camden grey S5 having upgraded from a ZS EV and everything is fine so far. I am very happy with it. This is the first car I've had with one pedal driving, and what I was hoping some one could explain is, is the energy recovery better on one pedal driving or...
