[Eli5] min speed for cruise control

Question

Every car I’ve driven with cruise control it won’t engage below ~30km/h. Is there a reason or is it just arbitrary?

Answer 1

* The lower limit, among other reasons, is for safety.
* If drivers could set the cruise control very low, people might try to do dangerous things like get out of the car etc.
* If you don’t believe me….just google videos about “ghost riding the whip”
