Which outcome occurs when adaptive cruise control radar malfunctions due to heavy rain?

💡 Explanation

When heavy rain obstructs radar signals, the system misinterprets reflected signals because radar function is dependent on clear sensor data, leading to an inaccurate calculation of the following distance. Therefore inaccurate following distance results, rather than unintended acceleration, reduced power, or emergency braking which rely on other failure modes.
