Reply to comment by DearSergio in Massachusetts Drivers after one (1) person cuts them off on the road. by graemeknows

Newer cars have auto-lane assist and auto-follow cruise control.

When I got the chance to drive in traffic with a car like that, it was amazing how much more calm I felt after driving. Something about not having to make split-second braking or acceleration to match other drivers just took the edge off for me.

It blows my mind that people don't use CC on the highway. Also how comfortable people are being like 4ft away from a big rig.

To be fair, "dumb" cruise control from my old early-aughts beater is more trouble than it's worth in most traffic in Massachusetts. The adaptive cruise control that controls your following distance is a complete revolution by comparison.
