Adaptive Cruise Control is a very interesting feature of the Honda Sensing package. You can set a certain distance to follow behind the vehicles in front of you and it will not turn off if you step on the brake. It will brake automatically if that distance is breached or if it detects the vehicle ahead of you abruptly braking. It also has a feature called Low-Speed Follow which can be used in heavier traffic at speeds below 25 mph. Of course, at any time you can turn off the Adaptive Cruise Control or switch to regular Cruise Control. There are also settings for the distance to follow vehicles in front of you.
