Adaptive cruise control would have permitted me to follow my friend without having to either constantly make adjustments with the cruise buttons or keep making minute throttle adjustments while getting major knee and ankle pain holding my foot over the gas in a car that was designed to fit people who are half a foot shorter than me.
It drives me nuts to follow someone that doesn't use cruise control. I usually just say "I'll meet you there."
