I take the opportunity to rant about cruise control / speed limit buttons, which have a much worse UX than climate control.

If someone in the auto industry reads this:

Can I get a button that says 50, one that says 80 and one that says 130. Right now, you have to hit “set” and then adjust the speed limit with some up and down arrows, which is really annoying and takes your eyes off the road.

99% of the time I need 50/80/130. Yes, those are French speed limits, so if you prefer, you do 1/2/3 where you can set the 3 speeds in the parameters.

Or at the very least, make the arrows adjust the speed in 5kph increments.

Please don’t do this. Presets can be super difficult to understand. Configuring them can feel overwhelming, and you can’t verify your presets easily while the vehicle is stopped.

Does pressing and holding the arrow not do that for you? I remember (before I went carless) that my Audi used to do 10kph increments, displaying the target speed in the HUD, when I pressed and held the lever.

IIRC Gen 2 Priuses only incremented the speed by 1.604km/h (yes, that 1mi/h, go figure why they didn't adjust for the rest of the world).

But you're right that most of the time it's adjustable by holding the arrows (I've tried Peugeot, Opel, Hyundai).

When you keep the button pressed, it will add 5kph per second you press it or so. This is really the worst, cause I can't keep my eyes on that stuff for several seconds, so I always end up overshooting, and fiddling with the buttons way more than what's safe.

For me there's two additional preset :

* 100: happens during construction work on the motorway, and also for some segment of the motorway whose speed limit is dynamically managed depending on traffic

* 110: during long(ish) distance trip (incidentally, to Southern France), I drive at 110 to save some battery for my EV

At this point having cruise control working the way it works now is probably less complex than 5 presets (I agree that having to adjust the speed km-by-km sounds painful though).
