What is Adaptive Cruise Control?

Adaptive cruise control is often referred to by a few different names – autonomous, radar, and even traffic-aware cruise control. Whatever it’s called, though, it works roughly the same way. Using either a dual camera or a radar and sensor system, your vehicle can maintain a constant distance between it and the vehicle ahead. All you have to do is keep your hands on the wheel. Not only does this system give your foot a break from controlling the pedal, a godsend on long trips, it also makes sure that you’re maintaining a consistent speed, which is great for fuel efficiency and the vehicles around you! Some systems even use a predictive technology to react to actions from the vehicle ahead: if brake lights go on, your vehicle will brake. Once traffic speeds back up, your vehicle will follow suit.

Whether you’re looking at a Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicle, you can find an adaptive cruise control system. Take a look at our comprehensive inventory under our New Vehicles tab and find a make and model that suits your fancy. The comprehensive paragraphs to the right on each entry will give you a good idea of what kind of technology is lurking within, and don’t hesitate to give us a call or fill out our Request Information form if all of your questions aren’t answered. We try to make it as easy as possible to make one of these technologically-advanced vehicles yours, too, thanks to the wide variety of forms available on our site. You can use our Value Trade-in tool to get an estimate on your current ride, or apply for a loan using our Finance Application.
