FWIW, although both my cars are equipped with cruise control, I don't use

it at
all. Anyway, I think we are pretty much in agreement that an autopilot is

a
useful tool and should not be depended on as a surrogate for pilot

ability. If
I can't fly as well as the autopilot, I have no business being there.

That
said, my point was that (for me anyway) an autopilot is not a must have,

but it
is fairly high on the list of desirables.


Out here in the West, where drinving distances are ENORMOUS (even in town),
CC is a necessity. For one thing, it'll hold the speed better than a human
can and thus provide better fuel economy. I shudder to think of driving
through Kansas without CC, especially with highway patrol hiding in the
bushes. :~)
