The facelifted Honda CR-V is set to debut later this year. We know some of the basic details from theofficial reveal back in 2014 but Honda is now giving us a few more in-depth features it will feature.

Honda Cruise Control Predicts Cutting-In

The latest trick up its sleeve is the Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control system that does more than just keep distance and speed with vehicles in front of you. The cruise control system uses radar as well as cameras to sense what cars around you plan to do. It is able to predict the likelihood of a car alongside cutting-in and react quickly, safely and comfortably.

The new 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, who might not yet be aware of the imminent cut-in. In this case the system applies just a mild brake initially, with an icon appearing on the driver display, informing the driver why a slow-down occurs. It then proceeds to apply a stronger brake to adapt the velocity to keep a safe distance.

The i-AAC system as it is officially named will be available on the executive spec model only, we still wait to see what model offerings we will get here in South Africa.
