• About one car length
• As far as the vehicle in front of you

The handbook advises looking ahead at least 12 seconds, meaning at least to where your vehicle will be 12 seconds from now.

At 55 mph, about how long would it take to stop with perfect brakes and ideal road conditions?

• About two seconds
• About four seconds
• About twelve seconds
• Almost seven seconds ✓

If you are traveling at 55 mph, you would need almost seven seconds to stop with perfect brakes and ideal road conditions.

• Keeping the exact same speed no matter what is ahead
• Braking only when parking
• Steering the vehicle through curves

Adaptive Cruise Control increases or decreases speed to maintain a following distance set by the driver.

The SAE classification system for degree of driving automation ranges over which levels?

• 1 to 10
• 0 to 3
• 1 to 5
• Zero to five (0-5) ✓

The SAE levels range from zero to five (0-5), starting with vehicles without the technology and ending with self-driving vehicles.
