ABSTRACT:
An automatic speed control apparatus capable of allowing a motor vehicle to travel at a given speed in a cruising mode over a wide speed range from a low to a high speed by simplifying driver's operation as required while ensuring safety in driving by protecting the vehicle against collision with an obstacle lying in front thereof. Upon stoppage of acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle, the apparatus makes the vehicle cruise at a speed at which the vehicle was travelling at the instant when the acceleration or deceleration was stopped. In addition, upon detection of an obstacle such as a preceding car, an alarm is generated, and the vehicle is controlled such that the distance to the object is maintained at a constant level, as required.
