WTF is so wonderful about cruise control? I've had cruise control in
my last three vehicles and never use it, it has only disadvantages and
no advantages... it's dangerous in even light traffic and in no
traffic can lull you into a comatose state. I even have cruise
control on my tractor, quite useless as slowing to turn at the end of
a row or slowing for any reason cancels it. Cruise control is an
accident (actually an on-purpose) waiting to happen.
