Adaptive cruise control is incredible. I regularly do a 4 hour freeway drive (every week or two) and have noticed a distinct decrease in tiredness since using it. I feel an order of magnitude more aware of it surroundings when not having to constantly worry about whether I’m doing the speed limit (the freeway here has lots of cops and hidden speed cameras) and I find the entire drive so much more relaxing now. I couldn’t own a car without it anymore. I definitely don’t feel Tesla is responsible for the crashes caused by people ignoring all the warnings and notices. People have been ignoring warnings and dying in stupid ways since warnings first existed.

ACC is nice in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. It does not have stop and go so you get a few second warning that it will stop when you come to a complete stop. It’s easy to press resume after you move again. When I read the manual it specifically called out several situations where ACC could cause a problem. Completely stationary objects and using it around a sharp corner can cause it to lose sight of the car in front of you. As you said people have found stupid ways of dying and not paying attention while driving is one of them. I keep an eye on ACC and will keep my foot above the break if my intuition tells me to.
