Cruise control is an advanced driving assistance system that automatically maintains a vehicle's speed without driver input. In the context of the Land Rover Discovery, a premium SUV known for its off-road capabilities, cruise control enhances highway driving comfort and reduces driver fatigue.
Cruise control has gained prominence in modern vehicles due to its ability to improve fuel efficiency, minimize speeding violations, and provide a more relaxed driving experience. A significant historical development in cruise control technology was the introduction of adaptive cruise control, which automatically adjusts speed to maintain a safe distance from preceding vehicles.
