Predictive ACC - Predictive Cruise Control

**vwcaddy123** · 26-02-2018, 05:33 AM

The Arteon has Predictive Cruise Control or Predictive ACC as a feature, but you cannot order the Passat B8 with it from factory.

Is it possible to retrofit this cool feature from the Arteon in the Passat B8 and what would it take?

WTF is "Predictive ACC"?

Uses fusion of GPS/map data and Front Assist Camera/radar to control speed.
In Bentleys I understand it also has topographical info in the map data to preselect gears if you start going up an incline etc

That's not predictive. That's anticipative.

Predictive - 'relating to or having the effect of predicting an event or result.'
Anticipative - 'of or relating to prediction'

It's semantics...plus most people can't pronounce 'anticipative', nor can their predictive text suggest it as a possible word...

But there is a difference. Predicting something is more of an absolute. Anticipating something leaves grey area. That's my understanding anyway.

Neither are an absolute, as neither may actually occur. Both are educated guesses.

Would certainly be good here with all the round abouts, if it worked well.
