What is a "cruise control"?
Cruise control is a system in a vehicle that automatically controls the speed of the car without the driver needing to keep their foot on the accelerator. Once the driver sets the desired speed, the system maintains it by adjusting the speed control as needed. This feature is particularly useful for long drives on highways, helping to reduce fatigue by keeping the vehicle at a steady speed. Some advanced versions, known as adaptive cruise control, can also adjust the speed based on the distance to the vehicle ahead, providing extra convenience and safety.
