If one is on a VERY slippery surface, cruise control can interfere with one's driving.

Imo this is more relevant for snow and ice-covered roads. A careful driver can feel when the driving wheels may break loose and start to slip. When this happens, one loses directional control, so one must lift off the gas pedal immediatly to allow the wheels to grip again and slow thew car down gently. If one has the cruise control on, one cannot feel and react to this slippage as easily, so a crash is more likely.

However, Imo the tone of this warning is excessively sensationalistic and somewhat inaccurate. Cars generally do not launch themselves into the air just because they start to slide.

Also, good tires generally do not hydroplane either, unless they hit standing water (big puddles) at higher speeds. So, imo, cruise control is fine on a wet road so long as one is not driving too fast for conditions and there are no big puddles.
