I think alot of people are reading too much into this.. If I am right, you have the cruise control that effectivly has 3 buttons:
one to switch the system on and off
one to increase speed
one to decrease speed
as the switches would only be "on" while they are being pressed even if the computer crashed it wouldn't make any difference, unless it locks a relay on (dangerous if it was the increase speed!). However that is as much as the computer would interface. It wouldn't be connected to the main "brains" of the CC and as such, pressing the brake would turn off the CC anyway.
But I do agree this is more for pose then practiaclity
Linear Mode
