I can hardly wait for the radar assisted, auto deacell cruise control.  |
You mean Active Cruise Control, which has been available as a $2200 option on newer BMWs since 2004-ish? Radar under front bumper allows you to set 1 to 4 sec distance from vehicle in front of you along with set cruise speed. It'll accel and decel for you if a car merges into your lane or leaves your lane. It'll also brake down to 20mph for you (driver must stop vehicle). Uh yup. Already there.
And the Dynamic Cruise Control which comes standard on most if not all new BMWs now, will apply the brakes when you go downhill so you don't exceed your set speed.
