So I engage the cruise control and turn off my brain and forget where the brake pedal is. Really?? My hands are also still on the wheel as well. Its about as unsafe as not using it is.
Cruise control saves driver fatigue as well. That also matters. Maintaining speed with your foot or cruise control is the same thing. Cruise control in my GTI here engages at all speeds. Clearly the Germans think otherwise on the issue and rightfully so.
