    Was going to ask the same question - cruise control is for open roads like motorways. Not around town. No wonder they had issues with it.

      Cruise control is for when my foot needs a break. Especially when I’m speeding through school zones.

        I mean, you should be slowing down at least a bit when passing someone pulled over on the side of the road anyways, no? Just like going through a construction zone. It really depends on how much braking we’re talking about.

          Yes, but that’s not regular.

          If traffic is flowing, you can’t just slow way down on the interstate for each broken or stopped car

      It’s incredibly useful in stop and go traffic, and I’m often just too lazy to turn it off after the traffic ends, until it randomly brakes for a parked car 😅
