Technology is good as long as people aren't dependant on it. Personally I never use the cruise control myself since I like to play with the gas pedals myself. However, there're people who just want to drive from point A to point B with the minimal effort.
IMO, cruise control by itself is more dangerous than mercedes' radar guided one. As long as people dont wait for the auto-braking to kick in, it is no more dangerous than the brake force assist system on many new cars today. However, there're always people who think they're better driver simply because the stability/traction control allow them to get closer to the physical limit of the car.
