What is ACC in a car?
I’m searching around for a new car and safety features are one of my top priorities. During my research, I’ve come across the acronym ACC numerous times. What does ACC mean in a car?

With all of the advanced safety features found in new cars, remembering all the acronyms is certainly a chore. ACC in a car stands for adaptive cruise control, which is one of the many leading features that make cars safer to drive and you a
safer driver
as a result.The way that ACC works is similar to regular cruise control. However, the car has either cameras or radar in the front of the vehicle that detects vehicles in front of you. When ACC senses a vehicle, it automatically slows your car to a lower speed. Once you go around the other car or it leaves your path, ACC returns to your selected speed.
Even though you’re buying a car with ACC and a top safety rating, you still need car insurance. But that doesn’t mean you have to overpay. Instead, download the
