I have no doubt that it will be offered on some future model, but I'm a little skeptical that it will be the 2018 one. It seems more likely to me that it would be with a next generation model where they'll redesigning the car - that would make it easier to justify the engineering cost of including new sensors, wiring harnesses and vehicle control capabilities.
Of course it's possible that the current model was designed in such a way that adding the capability in a model year refresh wouldn't be that difficult, but Josh Tavel's comment about the need for blended braking makes me suspect that's not the case.
None of us has any real clue about when some sort of autonomous capability may debut, but of course it's a given that such capability would include ACC.
