What is Ford’s adaptive cruise control?

I’m comparing safety specs across some different Ford models to decide which one to buy. I keep seeing notes about adaptive cruise control and I’m confused. I thought cruise control was a pretty run-of-the-mill feature. What is Ford’s adaptive cruise control?

Ford’s adaptive cruise control is an advanced safety feature that comes standard or available as part of the Ford Co-Pilot360™ safety technology.
Basic adaptive cruise control uses camera and sensor technology to match your cruise control settings to the speed of the car in front of you. Ford uses intelligent adaptive cruise control which includes the following:
  • Speed sign recognition: detects speed limit changes to adjust your car’s cruise control settings accordingly
  • Stop-and-go: brings your vehicle to a stop and resumes driving as the flow of traffic necessitates
  • Lane centering: assists in centering your vehicle between lane markers
As you can see, the automotive industry has gone above and beyond the old days of simple cruise control. Ask your dealer which models come with intelligent adaptive cruise control so you can find the right Ford model that fits your preferences, and don’t forget these
cruise control safety best practices.
