I was all excited to watch this thinking it was about the Grandfather of someone I went to grade school with.
Then I remembered he did not invent cruise control, he invented the interval windscreen wiper thing.
So now I am not as excited.

I wish that whenever a lawyer did something to nauseate me, I would invent something to fix it.

Our family’s '67 Plymouth had one of those Perfect Circle Auto-Pilot cruise controls. It was highly mechanical, and a wonderful thing when it worked, which was fairly often. There’s a video of how it works here, if you don’t get seasick from the wobbly camera.

Kansas Cruise Control: A brick for the gas pedal.
Nebraska Cruise Control: A brick for the gas pedal and The Club for the steering wheel.

Although this one is a little more accurate/disturbing.
I assume you’ve seen the movie about that one, then?
