What Is: Adaptive Cruise Control?

Cruise control has been around for a long time now. The first production car to use a speed-control system? The 1958 Chrysler Imperial… and it was called, funnily enough, Auto-Pilot. Today we’ve come a long way from AutoPilot… sort of. We now have far smarter cruise control systems which we call Adaptive Cruise Control. These aren’t simply there to hold one speed.
