Cruise Control Systems for a More Convenient and Safer Driving Experience

Most modern vehicles are designed with cruise control included in their list of features. Of course, this is a modern luxury car feature, so not all new cars sport them, especially the more affordable vehicles. It is also unfortunate that most older makes and models of vehicles don’t have them either. This doesn’t mean that you cannot enjoy the convenience and safety provided by a cruise control system. Cruise control systems (also called speed control systems), can be bought from and installed by a third party. This means that you can enjoy the safety and convenience of such a system regardless of what car you drive and how old it is.

The first form of cruise control system was first seen in the very early 1900s. These systems were operated with a centrifugal governor. Modern day cruise control systems as we know them were actually invented in 1948 and are typically operated with a bi-directional screw-drive electric motor to manipulate the accelerator.

By design, cruise control systems control the speed of a vehicle automatically. This means that the driver does not need to keep their foot on the accelerator in order to maintain a steady speed. The servo mechanism controls the actual throttle of the vehicle and keeps the vehicle travelling at the constant speed that was selected by the driver. While the system doesn’t seem complicated, it’s important to insist on a quality product to ensure that it doesn’t let you down unexpectedly.
