#1 Adaptive cruise control

Post by Bigtommy79 » Wed Dec 04, 2024 8:29 am

Has anyone ever fitted adaptive cruise control to a V12 e type or know a way it could be done?

I think you would be better getting a car that already had it. Its a complex system using Lidar and works with the ABS system which the E type does not have. Personally from using it in my Range Rover I think its a pain in the backside. If you are on a slight curve on a motorway it picks up vehicles in the adjacent lane and slows you down by braking, sometimes with some force. A basic cruise control is the better option.

Totally agree with UK Muppet, I wouldn’t spec it on a new car.
