The key word in the parent post is "adaptive". With adaptive CC, you don't do anything in stop and go traffic other than minor steering. The car just keeps about a car length distance with the car in front. It is very nice convenience feature.

I'm familiar with the concept, but I can't imagine I'd use it any more than I use regular cruise control on an empty highway.

Your inability to imagine something is hardly an experience worth sharing.

"I rarely use cruise control" was in the first place a parenthetical concession until someone felt like "correcting" me.
