How does the Audi A8's Adaptive Cruise Control system work?

I want to know more about Audi A8's Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system. How does it function and what are its limits?

The Adaptive Cruise Control system in the Audi A8 uses radar technology to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles on the road. It automatically adjusts the vehicle's speed to keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front of it, reducing the need for constant braking and accelerating.

One of the key features of Audi A8's Adaptive Cruise Control system is its ability to handle stop-and-go traffic. It can bring the vehicle to a complete stop and then resume driving as traffic starts moving again. However, it's important for the driver to remain attentive and ready to take control at any time.

The ACC system in the Audi A8 also includes a Predictive Efficiency Assistant that uses map data to anticipate upcoming road conditions and adjust the vehicle's speed accordingly, improving fuel efficiency and reducing the overall stress on the driver.
