It is an intentional safety feature. The brake pedal has two switches, one connects to the TWICE safety computer and activates the brake light, the other switch goes directly to the Trionic ECU. The TWICE computer also sends the brake switch information over the network to the ECU. The cruise control software inside the ECU will not activate unless it has seen the brake signal from both sources.
What do you think would happen if both switches fail and the driver panics when he is unable to stop the car? Remember the problems Audi had a couple of years ago with their cruise control problems?
