Honda is to introduce a new Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control system on the facelift version of the CR-V. The company says it is the world’s first predictive cruise control system and will solve the problems that existing adaptive cruise systems have with vehicles cutting in.


Existing systems maintain a safe distance from the car in front in the same lane, but will often brake abruptly if a car cuts in front of the vehicle from an adjacent lane. Honda says its new i-ACC system is able to compute the likelihood of a cut-in up to five seconds before it occurs, and is therefore designed to react very smoothly so as not to startle the driver.

The system uses a camera and radar to detect the position of other vehicles on the road. It then applies an algorithm to predict the probability of vehicles cutting-in. The system which also adapts to continental driving will be initially available on executive CR-V models.
