I read about a wreck where, if the story is true, a guy was driving a tricked out van on the interstate outside of Baltimore and engaged the cruise control, got up and left the steering wheel in order to get something from a cabinet. When the inevitable happened, he explained to the police he had engaged the cruise control which had supposedly been explained to him as an automatic pilot of sorts. Don’t know if the tale is true, but I can easily envision that happening.
