Probably a big chunk of these tried ACC a few times, found that ACC sucks unless you're on perfectly clean empty highway, and said "screw it I'll drive it myself".

I've played with it a little bit. Seems useful in principle. But a lot of roads I tend to be on--even highways--have a fair bit of traffic and speed limits that change on a pretty regular basis. Hasn't been as useful as I expected it to be.

It's mostly fine but it has no idea of proper positioning on road. It always puts the car in other cars' blind zones, near to trucks etc.
