Panarchy theory builds on the adaptive cycle by describing how these cycles are nested across scales, with interactions between faster, smaller cycles and slower, larger ones.

This process, whereby species evolve rapidly to exploit empty ecospace, is known as adaptive radiation. In his memoir, The Voyage of the Beagle, Darwin noted, almost as if in awe, "One might ...

However, the study notes that not all adaptive cruise systems are capable of properly detecting slow or stationary objects. In theory, automatic emergency braking should step in for those situations.
