ABSTRACT:
A control system20for an automotive vehicle22,such as an adaptive cruise control (ACC) system, is provided including a controller24.The controller24is electrically coupled to a radar system and a navigation system. The detection system28detects an object and generates an object profile. The navigation system34generates a navigation signal. The controller24in response to the object profile and the navigation signal, generates a predicted future path profile and inhibits resume speed of the vehicle22in response to the predicted future path profile. An additional feature of the invention is that the controller24may also be electrically coupled to a yaw rate sensor30.The yaw rate sensor30senses the yaw rate of the vehicle22and generates a yaw rate signal. The controller24in response to the yaw rate signal inhibits resume speed of the vehicle22.
