To be fair, just having adaptive cruise gives you most of what you need in that situation.

I don't know what the various Audi (D3, D4 etc.) iterations do, but in our Volvo once you actually come to a total stop for more than about 10 seconds it will not move off again until you press the throttle or resume button on the steering wheel. But in varying speeds on a motorway it's great, just a little steering input occasionally. Huge stress reduction.
