Home > Adaptive cruise control

Adaptive cruise control (also called automatic cruise control or active cruise control) is a type of cruise control that maintains the speed of an automobile while maintaining a minimum distance from any vehicle ahead. By constantly regulating the allowable distance, the system can avoid braking in favour of natural deceleration.

The intended benefits are better fuel efficiency, alleviation of the accordion effect, increased road safety, and less stress for the driver.

Adaptive radiationAdaptive radiation describes the rapid speciation of a single or a few species to fill many ecological niches. This is an evolutionary process driven by mutation and natural selection. Adaptive radiation often occurs when a species is introduced to a new	Adaptive expectationsIn economics, adaptive expectations means that people base their expectations of what will happen in the future based on what has happened in the past. For example, if inflation has been high in the past, people would expect it to be high in the future.

This is as opposed to a non-adaptive filter, which has static filter coefficients (which collectively f	Adaptive opticsAdaptive optics is a technology to improve the performance of reflecting telescopes by reducing the effects of twinkling.
