Abstract
A vehicular personalized adaptive cruise control system includes a forward-viewing camera viewing forward through a windshield of a vehicle, and an electronic control unit disposed at the vehicle. When the vehicle is operating in an adaptive cruise control mode, the system controls driving of the vehicle. When the equipped vehicle is not operating in the adaptive cruise control mode, a driver present in the vehicle drives the vehicle. The system identifies the driver via processing of image data captured by a cabin monitoring camera. When the identified driver drives the vehicle with the vehicle not operating in the adaptive cruise control mode, the system determines and stores personalized parameters for the identified driver. With the identified driver present in the vehicle, and when the vehicle is operating in the adaptive cruise control mode, the system uses the determined personalized parameters.
