Good call. But sadly, those foolish things are not in short supply.
I still maintain that most people after using ACC for much of their driving won't be quite as good or quite as fast at doing the right thing(s) should they have to do so all on their own in a hurry. This isn't something the average driver is going to understand from his 2/10ths - 3/10ths driving or necessarily see at a mild-emergency 6/10ths level simply because at those levels there's normally enough margin left to cover for their skills becoming a bit dulled.
Serious question - does ACC reliably identify motorcyclists immediately ahead of you and maintain proper speed and distance to it, especially when there's only a single rider? I used to ride.
And FWIW, I don't like the way "dumb" CC drives even when there's no other traffic in sight. Making the CC smarter for when there actually is other traffic can't change that part. It doesn't take ACC experience to know this about oneself.
