I suppose that since cruise control only works on the throttle - and

Mine slows itself in exactly that situation using the brakes.

Interesting. What car is that?

Audi A4. I presume it uses the ABS reservoir in the same way it does to
hold the car on the brakes (not the "hand" brake) when stationary. It
also periodically "wipes" the brakes to keep them dry.

It is extremely nice to have a system that maintains speed down as well
as up hill. Especially in a very hilly area with lots of speed cameras.
