Agreed, most cruise control systems are considerably better. My cruise control has never tried to swerve me into oncoming traffic.

A system that doesn't have the capability to make turns at all will not make an error when making a turn.

By the same token, walking will avoid the risk of being in a highway accident. So by this logic, walking is superior to driving.

What if you're walking on the highway though? Would that not be considered a highway accident?

Yes, a system that doesn't try to do something is better than one that does it poorly.

Again we're on the same page, walking is superior to driving. Although the pesky cars often make it more dangerous and there are limits that make walking impractical at times.
