Cruise control maintains cruising speed. It doesn't even try to steer.
Correct. Which correctly conveys the accurate impression that it is a technology which makes the driving experience somewhat easier in a limited number of ways.

Which is why Cadillac calling their autopilot "Super Cruise" accurately conveyed what it does and doesn't do, and doesn't have an endless news cycle about how the "automatic pilot" is neither.
