The only use I’ve ever found for traditional cruise control is to reduce ankle strain on extremely long road trips. Not a big fan. Adaptive cruise control is about my favorite “driver assist” technology though. Makes the constant speed changes of rush hour driving much less stressful when you use a large enough safety window. Also on open highways it is just wonderful as you basically never touch it (unlike traditional which constantly has to be disengaged for even a single other car in your lane). Worth noting that my vehicle’s emergency braking system is distinct and active regardless of ACC status. Also I’m always ready to brake manually.
