ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FOR MOTOR VEHICLE

An adaptive cruise control for a motor vehicle includes a detection module for detecting a vehicle ahead, a production module capable of producing a setpoint, a storage module configured to store a value corresponding to the setpoint, a chronometer configured to be initialized and activated at a moment when the vehicle stops, and a reinitialization module for reinitializing the storage module. This cruise control includes a setup module capable of determining a limit according to the environment of the vehicle. The reinitialization module reinitializes the value stored by the storage module if the chronometer provides a duration greater than the limit.
