adaptive cruise control
Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is a type of advanced driver-assistance system for road vehicles that automatically adjusts the vehicle speed to maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead. As of 2019, it is also called by 20 unique names that describe that basic functionality. This is also known as Dynamic cruise control.Control is based on sensor information from on-board sensors. Such systems may use a radar, laser sensor or a camera setup allowing the vehicle to brake when it detects the car is approaching another vehicle ahead, then accelerate when traffic allows it to.
ACC technology is regarded as a key component of future generations of intelligent cars. The technology enhances passenger safety and convenience as well as increasing road capacity by maintaining optimal separation between vehicles and reducing driver errors. Vehicles with autonomous cruise control are considered a Level 1 autonomous car, as defined by SAE International. When combined with another driver assist feature such as lane centering, the vehicle is considered a Level 2 autonomous car.
Adaptive cruise control does not provide full autonomy: the system only provides some help to the driver, but does not drive the car by itself.

We recently picked up a new IM5, and for the most part it's been great, one of the little niggles we have is with cruise control. The minimum distance to the car In front is too large for peak hour traffic (some people will literally pull out from behind you to pull in ahead of you). While...- Nemy

Highway impressions
Hello everyone, I did a first highway trip. The fuel economy (under 6l at 120km/h) and ride comfort was good, even better than cars from bigger brands. The ACC and ICA work well most of the time. However i experienced some facial blushing and ear discomfort. I don't want to develop highway...- yfaywise

Three Months In An S5
So I've had my S5 Trophy Looking Range for three months now. Have to say, I'm pretty disappointed overall. There's just so many wee niggles. Wee cost saving annoyances. The non automatic window closing for instance. Or the lack of a light on the vanity mirror under the visor. Then there's the...- Gonzales Bojangles

Real life range
I along with four others, recently took a 160km road trip, not very far but data is useful. The battery went from 80% to 44%. That indicates an easy 320km range with comfortable head room. Obviously working from a 100% charge would shift the range by another 100km perhaps. The trip consisted...- evets

MGS5 auto dipping headlights
The auto dipping headlights on my 4 week old S5 are terrible, often blinding oncoming vehicles, sometimes not auto dipping at all, needing to manual dip, feels so sluggish as though they've been on the beer and forget to work.

What car did your MG4 replace?
Just saw a similar thread on the MG3 forum and thought it was a cool idea. I replaced a 2014 Mercedes C220.

Went for a bit of a trip today, up to Ipswich and back home. Generally am liking the Xpower. One thing did stand out though, the ACC is not as good as other systems I have used.

Cruise Control Speed Display
I have recently purchased a Cyberster GT and whilst I love the car and particularly its looks - the ACC speed display does my head in.
