PURPOSE:To select the optimum inter-car distance corresponding to the running state by providing an inter-car distance adjusting means that can arbitrarily be adjusted by a driver. CONSTITUTION:A car speed signal from a car speed sensor 1a, an inter-car distance signal from a radar device 3a, and an adjusting signal from a manual inter-car distance adjusting means 5a are sent to a microcomputer 13 and the microcomputer controls an acceleration and deceleration mechanism 15. The acceleration and deceleration mechanism 15 operates a degree of throttle opening and a mission device and adjusts car speed so as to maintain the commanded inter-car distance. In addition, a driver can command to increase or decrease the inter-car distance by operating the rotary knob 17 of the manual adjusting means 5a. |
