FWIW, I found cruise control to be pretty useless for everyday driving (I live in the NE U.S.); the variance in speed on a highway made it impracticle. Now the newer cruise controls can maintain distance with the car in front of you and steer themselves. Real scifi stuff.

FWIW, I had a manual back in '95 that had cruise control.
