I'm too much of a control freak for cruise control.
I'd rather have it than not on a country drive where I might cover very high hundreds of clicks in a day. Far less tiring.
I omitted to mention that the speed sign recognition is not only when using cruise control.
It also displays the current speed limit on the dash (including school zones when active) and chimes when the speed is exceeded by a nominated amount. I set mine to do so at 5kph over, which allows for the universal over-indication in car speedos of about 3-3.5kph.
It's very useful for avoiding Rooy's 'muscle memory' effect or just a lapse in concentration.
My vehicle is not a super upmarket model, but it is very new. The radar proximity sensing has been around for yonks; it's the camera sign recognition that is newer. I think it's excellent.
