Abstract

Example methods and systems for controlling speeds of a vehicle may generally determine a target vehicle acceleration using an autonomy control module of the vehicle. The target vehicle acceleration may be determined based upon at least one of a target vehicle following distance, a target vehicle following speed, or a target vehicle speed. The determined vehicle acceleration may be mapped to a level of vehicle torque using a vehicle dynamics module of the vehicle. Additionally, the level of vehicle torque may be applied to one or more wheels of the vehicle.
