I would love to have an indicator for adaptive cruise control because the way it only reacts to the car right in front of you rather aggressively means it causes shockwave traffic jams unless the human driver behind you keeps enough distance.
Humans are already experts at causing shockwave traffic jams, so I wouldn't count on them to reduce them.
I can only imagine assholes messing with the car MORE because the lights are on.
Apparently the car can only drive slowly automatically when you are stuck in traffic. So it shouldn't be a huge problem
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

The ACC in my car maintains a good bit of distance to the car ahead and doesn't respond suddenly to things coming closer than that distance. I've rarely if ever seen it brake inappropriately.
