pACC (predictive cruise control)

pACC represents an extension of the ACC system.

pACC adjusts the speed according to recognized

speed limits and the route, e.g. curves, intersections

or roundabouts.

The system uses the following sources to evaluate

the situation:

Navigation data

Traﬃc Sign Recognition

Sensors, radars and cameras
