If you're interested in controlling speed, yes. If you're going to use it to drive a precise distance and stay at that location, no. This is because as you approach the desired condition (stationary), you aren't getting feedback. And no, I would not consider "drive into the AutoZone" as requiring a precise distance measurement for this purpose.
