I disagree with the "expected behavior". Cruise control is a great QoL feature, and you can argue that it's your character trying to match the speed, and not the vehicle.

Of course, at the moment the game heavily implies it's the vehicle due to the name and it being tied to a particular vehicle.

A possible solution would be to make cruise control in vehicles with no in-car electronics to be dependent on your Driving skill.

[Vasyan2006]

dependent on your Driving skill.

This. Character with 0 driving skill will mischange throttle/brake or left/right.

But if you cannot disable a feature - it is not a feature but a bug.

I would be happy to move cruise control out of the electronics control menu and back into the general vehicle control menu.

[kevingranade]

It's not intended to be a feature of the car, just an option for the ui, so moving it back to the general car control menu works.

[mlangsdorf]

I'm going to move reactors into the electronics control menu at the same time.
