Drivers Disobey Speed Limits With Adaptive Cruise Control

Drivers Disobey Speed Limits With Adaptive Cruise Control Photo: The News Wheel Adaptive Cruise Control is designed to make driving on the highway more enjoyable and less stressful. The system not only allows you to set your speed and following distance, but it also automatically monitors traffic patterns ahead of you and automatically changes your speed so you keep the pre-set distance between you and the car in front of you. Unfortunately, some drivers are using ACC’s power for good as an excuse to be bad. Since ACC doesn’t calculate the posted speed limits, drivers can enter in whatever speed they want, including a speed that goes over the legal limit. Although drivers are abusing the speed limit settings, ACC takes control of the distance setting, which according to a recent study of insurance claims from the IIHS-affiliated Highway Loss Data Institute, may go a long way in protecting drivers from crashes.

IIHS study finds drivers significantly more likely to speed while using adaptive cruise control

IIHS study finds drivers significantly more likely to speed while using adaptive cruise control Drivers are using adaptive cruise control (ACC) as a tool for speeding, possibly undermining the feature’s potential safety benefits, according to a new study by researchers from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) with colleagues from MIT. Drivers are substantially more likely to speed when using ACC or partial automation that combines that feature with lane centering (Pilot Assist) (95%) than when using manual control (77%), the study showed. When selecting a speed to “set and forget,” many drivers choose one that’s over the limit.
