Correct, but it is often used where it shouldn't.
I personally hate cruise control except on virtually empty roads. When people use it anywhere near each other, you inevitably get situations where one person is passing another 0.1 mph faster. So the cars spend much more time closer together than they should rather than the slower person easing up a bit and the faster car picking things up so there's a clean pass and the road isn't blocked.
