I remember the Magliozzi’s (”Car Talk”, RIP Tom), were dead-set against cruise control, said it ought to be removed from all vehicles, and was the #1 underreported cause of accidents.

Tom is dead? I am so sorry to hear that. I loved their show.

I love my adaptive cruise control. It adjusts the speed to the traffic, and I can control the following distance. I just have to steer.
I use it all the time on regular streets. I figure that the computer is more efficient at maintaining just the right amount of acceleration to keep the speed, and is better at MPG than my foot is.
