Announced as part of the 2017 A4, it's thin on details though: Quote:
I'm assuming it's saving fuel by avoiding abrupt speed changes, and possibly driving with load on elevation changes. |
Cruise control is currently reactionary when it needs to be anticipatory, requiring proximity, input as well as elevation change calculations, and acceptable speed variations. It won't beat my mileage by 10%, since I already perform those functions manually.

Good point - should have added a big asterisk * to their claim:
* 10% possible improvement for automatons! |
Sounds great for those lazy days!
