Yes, but cruise control does not fix a problem. it is a factory offered option. never seen supports as an option!
Again, if one needs slide out supports, then something is broken!

Never ever use slide supports, especially in high winds.
You should leave your slides out. The center of gravity will remain about the same, but the area around it will be greater. Thus more stability
Why "never ever use slide supports"?

You didn't read the last paragraph did you.
No, just a dead horse issue with disclaimer in last paragraph. We better get some rope and stakes, the wind may get worse later today. Buddies panels are up and he now doesn't want to go up there. I froze my hands off out there this morning. Why didn't you tell me this was coming?

I'm on the beach at Lake Havasu and it's been howling since the wee hours of the morning. I'm glad I don't have slide toppers due to noise. I have no movement of the slides at all and didn't consider bringing them in. Our unit is very heavy. Maybe that's why it doesn't move.
:h
If you don't have slide toppers how do you know they are noisy?
Just saying......
Oh btw... and ours are not a noise issue.
My last RV had them and was real noisy.
