Im well aware of this effect, but if you are using cruise control to maintain a constant speed them it will not be an issue, the braking only occurs when going down hill to prevent an increase in speed.
The posts I was commenting on clearly do not understand cruise control. - as as stated (by Philtrick123) cruise control is only of real use on less crowded roads so the "shockwave effect is unlikely to be an issue - and most of this 1000 mile journey was on open fast clear Autobahn where cruise control worked extremely.
