Abstract
This invention provides an apparatus for the control of the transition to auto-cruise, which is capable of precluding detrimental phenomena such as dipping and hunting of the automobile speed while the control of the automobile speed is in transition from the manual status to the automatic status. In accordance to this invention, when the auto-cruise status is set, the apparatus unconditionally effects an initial setting of the throttle position to a provisional target throttle position which is dependent on the automobile speed as it exists at that moment, namely the target speed of the automobile, and thereafter the apparatus detects the deviation of the real speed of the automobile from the target automobile speed and, based on this deviation, effects feedback control of the throttle position.
