on cruise control safety and safest cars on the planet

A driver phoned emergency services as his car sped down a motorway at 119mph (192km/h) after the cruise control locked, an inquest heard.
In the eight minutes leading up to the collision, Gandhi told the call handler that the cruise control had become stuck and he could not stop the car accelerating.
He said: “My car is not coming out of cruise control. It is not letting me stop. It [the speedometer] shows 70mph but I think I am going much faster than this.”
The crash happened in a Skoda Octavia.
The Skoda Octavia is known for being one of the safest and most reliable cars on the market in Britain.
