Adaptive cruise control
NHTSA says adaptive cruise control "Automatically adjusts the vehicle's speed to keep a pre-set distance from the vehicle in front of it."
Who drives
NHTSA lists adaptive cruise control as a Level 1 example and says: "You, as the driver, are responsible for driving the vehicle."
Blind spot warning
NHTSA says blind spot warning "Warns of a vehicle in the driver's blind spot."
Blind spot intervention
NHTSA says blind spot intervention "Applies brakes or provides steering if the driver begins to change to a lane where a vehicle is detected in the blind spot."
Sensors
NHTSA says blind spot intervention monitors for vehicles in the driver's blind spot "using rear-facing cameras or proximity sensors."
Names differ
NHTSA says "different manufacturers use different names for the technologies." Your owner's manual uses your vehicle maker's names.
