Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling the speed of a motor vehicle in which a target speed is established and lowered upon each actuation of a driver-actuated brake. If the actual vehicle's speed exceeds the target speed, an auxiliary braking system is actuated to lower the actual vehicle speed to the target speed. If the vehicle's accelerator is thereafter actuated, the auxiliary braking system is disabled until the driver-actuated brake is again actuated.
