Cruise control is a driver-assistance system that automatically regulates a car's speed, typically used on highways and open roads. It's activated by pressing a button on the steering wheel, and it maintains the set speed unless the driver brakes or presses the accelerator.
Cruise control offers numerous benefits, including reducing driver fatigue, improving fuel efficiency, and making long journeys more comfortable. It was first introduced in 1958 by Chrysler and has since become a widespread feature in modern vehicles.
