Default Re: Intelligent Cruise Control?

I read somewhere that Chrysler is working on an intelligent cruise control that uses GPS and internal topographic maps to improve fuel economy by driving with load (slowing down up hills and letting gravity accelerate you down a hill) but it won't be for cars right away, they are thinking of trucking fleets, probably because it's rather expensive and most people wouldn't appreciate that kind of intelligence, although we would.
