  • A car has a ‘Follow Me’ system that uses a cruise control feature to allow the car to follow the car in front of it.

  • It will keep the same speed and distance without the driver’s intervention.

  • The cruise control system is an example of an embedded system.

Explain the reasons why the ‘Follow Me’ system is an example of an embedded system. [3]

  • Has specific purpose

  • Built inside larger device

  • Has a microprocessor
