Robert Bosch, Continental, Delphi, Siemens VDO and TRW are showing variants of second-generation adaptive cruise control systems that allow cars to maintain a safe distance from a vehicle traveling in front at speeds below 30km/h.
Most of the systems will end up on premium-priced vehicles and work in conjunction with other safety and so-called “driver assistance” features such as crash detection and avoidance, lane departure warning and night vision.
Bosch, the first to offer adaptive cruise control on the Mercedes-Benz S Class in 1999, will introduce a new system called ACCplus at Frankfurt on the Audi Q7. Bosch says its system can bring the Q7 to a complete stop if necessary in city traffic.
In the Q7, the ACCplus works in combination with a safety system called Predictive Collision Warning that warns of pending rear-end collisions.
