The adaptive cruise control system works with a radar system. It is an active safety system and works by controlling the speed of the vehicle to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead of you. The system slows down the vehicle if there is another slow-moving automobile in your lane. After the vehicle ahead of you gives you the way to overtake, the Gloster will speed up again to the pre-set cruising speed. This system will be extremely useful while driving on the highways as it will keep the driver stress-free.
Apart from the adaptive cruise control system, the Gloster also gets front collision warning, blind-spot monitor, automatic parking assist, lane departure warning as safety features. It is a massive vehicle and even though it will be launched in the price bracket of Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour, the size of the Gloster is similar to the Toyota Land Cruiser. The technologies will surely make the driver feel at a safe place.
