Modern cruise control systems are smart enough to not accelerate in a corner, regardless of what they are set to, and tapping the brake will cancel them.

I don't think this is as much of an issue as you think.

Fine, it won't accelerate in the turn, you're still set higher coming out of it. Now you accelerate in the straight instead of the corner. There's no case in which that's a good or desirable outcome, and it can be easily mitigated by not having these controls so easy to accidentally press.
