What driver assistance devices help to maintain a proper distance from the preceding vehicle?

Explanation

Correct answer: Adaptive cruise control (active).

Adaptive cruise control (active), unlike standard cruise control, not only maintains a set speed but also automatically adjusts the distance from the preceding vehicle. Using sensors, the system is able to independently decelerate and accelerate, actively maintaining a safe distance.
