In the fifth case, critical speed V cs applies when road curvature is the factor limiting safe speed. A vehicle which exceeds this speed will slide out of its lane. Critical speed is a function of curve radius r , superelevation or banking e , and friction coefficient μ ; [ 124 ] the constant g again is the acceleration of gravity.
Adaptive cruise control does not provide full autonomy: the system only provides some help to the driver, but does not drive the car by itself. [3] For example, the driver is able to set the cruise control to 55mph, if the car while traveling that speed catches up to another vehicle going only 45mph, the ACC will cause the car to automatically brake and maintain a safe distance behind the ...

[3] The term is used in other types of racing, such as bobsleigh, to indicate a similar shift in the course or track. A slower driver or vehicle that delays competitors is sometimes disparaged as a mobile chicane or moving chicane.
