I could see the value in that. I am a different type of driver however. I have never used cruise control and don't even know how to engage it on my car. It is true I don't drive much but when I do drive I like to be much more involved in it. I love the sound of my engine at 7000+ rpm shifts and the feel of my hydraulic steering rack.

My only disdain for driving stems from sharing the road with other driver who are completely stupid and seem to lack and critical thinking skill(this shows up in especially in traffic jams and navigation within them on local roads with obstacles also present, like a parked truck loading).

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the thrill of driving and racing. Some spirited driving on open highways is way different from stop and go traffic and long family road trips. In the end I still have a throttle lock on my 1050cc motorcycle though, it comes in handy when going on a long road trip.
