Is adaptive cruise useful in foggy weather?

Pacific Automotive Network’s adaptive cruise is useful in foggy weather. Adaptive cruise control can use radar, lidar or camera sensing systems (depending on the car manufacturer’s configuration of the vehicle) to adjust the vehicle speed to match the speed ahead. Match the vehicle speed. The adaptive cruise control function usually cooperates with other safety systems such as lane keeping, blind spot detection, and collision warning to warn the driver when a collision is imminent and activate the brakes when necessary to avoid collision accidents.

acc adaptive cruise is useful.

The following are the benefits of the adaptive cruise control system;

1. The adaptive cruise control system does not work properly in all weather and road conditions. Do not use the adaptive cruise control system when visibility is low, such as fog, heavy rain, mist or snow. Using adaptive cruise control in these situations will increase the risk of vehicle loss of control;

2. The adaptive cruise control system will not respond to pedestrians or objects on the road. In addition, the system may not respond to stationary vehicles, slow-moving vehicles traveling less than 10 km/h (6 mph), or oncoming vehicles in the same lane;

3 , adaptive cruise control uses radar sensors and cameras to monitor the area in front of the vehicle. The radar sensor is mounted on the front of the vehicle. The camera is mounted behind the rearview mirror. Keep this area of ??the vehicle clean and free of obstructions such as stickers, debris, mud, snow or ice. Failure to do this may result in the system being unable to recognize objects ahead;

4. If an obstruction affects the sensor's operation, the instrument panel will display driver intervention and then display that the radar sensor is blocked. Clear the sensor obstruction and allow the system to resume normal operation. When the obstruction is cleared, the operation will be automatically resumed;

5. If the radar sensor or camera's line of sight is interrupted for a long time, the instrument panel may also temporarily display that the radar sensor is blocked. For example, under bad weather conditions, when driving through a tunnel, or under complex traffic conditions;

6. During the following process, if the following target suddenly disappears, such as the vehicle in front suddenly enters a curve or enters a turntable , at this time, the vehicle may think that the safety distance is too large, misjudge and suddenly accelerate into the curve, requiring human intervention.
