lol indeed Jeff, although it is illegal to 'spot' deer (with a bright light
freezing them) from a moving vehicle here in NJ at least. I regularly have
groups of about 15 in my yard at night, so we really need to watch out for
them. The deer whistles help too (makes them look up and listen, thereby
immobilizing them).

Not sure about the new ones, as I haven't checked them. It used to be that the
system would automatically disengage if it sensed a loss of 10 mph or so.

Wow I didn't know they had cruise control for standards.
Do they work for rock crawling? Sorta like a governor?

Nah, it doesn't work under 35mph or so. I guess you could engage it and just
bounce over the rocks...
