Honda has developed what it calls the world’s first predictive safety cruise control system, which it calls Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control or i-ACC. It will debut on the European market Honda CR-V this year.
The team at Honda Research Institute Europe GmbH basically studied typical European driving styles and used their findings to develop an algorithm that allows a camera and millimeter wave radar to watch out for other vehicles in neighbouring lanes that seem likely to cut into the CR-V’s lane.
This is a step up from traditional adaptive cruise control systems which can only monitor the car directly in front of it. If a vehicle cuts-in from a neighboring lane, traditional adaptive cruise control systems react later, thus requiring stronger braking.
According to Honda, i-ACC is able to predict the likelihood of a cut-in up to five seconds before it occurs so it can react smoothly so as not to startle the driver, who might not yet be aware of the imminent cut-in.
The system applies just a mild braking force initially, with an icon appearing on the multi-info display informing the driver why a slow-down occured. This sounds like something CR-V owners would find really useful in Malaysia, don’t you think? Too bad it sounds like an Europe-only system at the moment.

With current Govt, we (Rakyat) will only gets paying high taxes…
You won’t go wrong with sushi cars. Good specs, build quality, affordable and good RV!
reading all this news is only syiok sendiri and drooling.
Even simple peddle shift or econ mode also removed from the new Jazz.
Won’t work here, poor car won’t even move since perpetually being cut in by motor cycles, cars, buses, 1 ton lorries, white vans, dogs, cats, cows, etc.
uuuhhhhhhh yesss.. this is one of the most irritating thing that happen with my volvo’s adaptive cruise.. I truly hope that adaptive cruise will be sort of standard in Malaysia because it will definitely help reduce crashed by maintaining the right distance with the car in front.. and u don’t have to do the guessing game of how fast the car in front of you is going or how hard is the car braking, the radar will keep track of that in an instant….
If you need the car to tell you the distance from the car in front, you don’t belong on the road. Keep your Volvo at home. TAKE.THE.BUS
Upgrade to 6 airbags first.
Great! Queue cutter can easily cut in front of CRVs. Wohoo!
In Europe it will work because the car cutting in will signal first. In Malaysia no one uses a signal indicator before changing lanes. The system would have a longer time to predict a lane change by looking at the signal first.
Here, you will get new design bumper, new frog light, push start, rear poiler, new design local sport rims, some dog sensor, new colour etc …..
Fear not everyone, for you shall not get what was stated above anyway. Laysia~
In malaysia, you pay money for the car and agree on whatever the manufacturer give you. Honda say, no adaptive cruise control for MY….but Thai get it. Wtf!
Won’t work..in my town its stop for a traffic light every 1 minute. My car has cruise control but never used it.
