Insurance companies will drive people into these things. The difference in insurance rates is expected to be quite dramatic; not initially but as the technology develops.
I have adaptive cruise control on my my main vehicle - it is amazing - set it for 5 miles an hour over the speed limit (or whatever speed you want) and sit back and let the car slow down and speed up along with traffic, while maintaining a safe following distance. It will brake the vehicle down to a full stop and then start back up again following traffic (or no traffic) up to the maximum speed I have set. Speed limit changes, I change the adaptive cruise control limits up or down accordingly. It makes driving in traffic amazingly less stressful!!
