Cruise Control is a feature in vehicles that automatically maintains a set speed without the driver needing to keep their foot on the accelerator. This system allows for a more relaxed driving experience, especially on long highway trips, as it helps reduce fatigue and improve fuel efficiency. To activate Cruise Control, the driver sets their desired speed, and the system takes over acceleration and deceleration. Most modern vehicles also include adaptive Cruise Control, which can adjust the speed based on the distance to the vehicle ahead, enhancing safety by preventing collisions.
