Sensors included in the adaptive cruise control system are combined with brake system electronics so the brakes automatically trigger up to 40% of total force to stop or slow the vehicle in the event of an impending collision. It's a bit reminiscent of Terry Trueman's novels Cruise Control and Stuck in Neutral, about people caught up in tragic circumstances not of their making, and raises some of the same moral issues. Standard features include heat and AC, dual external mirrors, front and rear work lights, windshield washer and wiper, cruise control, two-pedal hydrostatic transmission, antenna and speaker, 12V power supply, cup holder and cell phone clip. |
