Dynamic Cruise Control

Cruise Control is a nice feature.

It makes driving the car less work and more fuel efficient.

However there are certain times when it is annoying to have to adjust it. One of these is when the highway curves. Generally when taking any significant turns you want to reduce your speed to continue driving safely if the road is not banked.

I would like to see a cruise control system that would dynamically reduce the speed while the wheel is turned. When the driver straightens back out the speed would pick back up.

The system would likely have a threshold so that it would not activate while passing another car. The system could also include a sensor to detect if the car is at an angle. This could be used to tell if the car is on a banked road. If the road is banked the system would not have to reduce the car's speed as much.

For people who did not like the cruise control automatically adjusting the speed a switch under the dashboard could turn the feature on and off.

A dynamic cruise control could make using cruise control more convenient and safer.
