Default Failure of Adaptive Cruise?

So I was driving back late last night from Seattle in moderate fog but no rain. Everything working fine when suddenly the cruise shut off as did the Night Vision camera. Cruise would NOT reactivate and it stated something along the lines of "Audi ACC and brake assist disabled, sensor failure"

It wouldn't reset until I pulled over, shut the car down and restarted. It then (ACC's radar system and night vision assist) both worked fine for the next 90 minutes/100 miles.

Anyone seen this before?

Not that exact message. When driving this past winter, snow/slush packed my sensors and eventually they couldn't "see" so it gave me a message to the effect of sensor blocked, ACC unavailable.

I wish there was a non-ACC fallback for cruise control available. My old D3 S8's ACC would occasionally glitch out and I was left pushing the gas pedal to keep moving. #firstworldproblems

My wife's former 2008 Toyota Sienna had adaptive cruise that allowed you to use ACC or regular cruise control based on how you pushed the stalk. I usually ran that with regular cruise on the highway so I didn't slow to the speed of cars in the right lane. With my S6 I don't seem to have that problem.

There's an option somewhere in the option menu to choose regular cruise control.

Interesting...I've never seen it before and haven't heard that it was possible until now. Can you tell me how to find it? I like keeping it on now, but it would be good to know how to disable just in case.
