2. Electronic throttle control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_throttle_control

   The ECM is a type of electronic control unit (ECU), which is an embedded system that employs software to determine the required throttle position by calculations from data measured by other sensors, including the accelerator pedal position sensors, engine speed sensor, vehicle speed sensor, and cruise control switches.

3. Cruise control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruise_control

   Cruise control (also known as speed control, cruise command, autocruise, or tempomat) is a system that automatically controls the speed of an automobile. The system is a servomechanism that takes over the car's throttle to maintain a steady speed set by the driver.

4. Powertrain control module - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powertrain_control_module

   A PCM from a 1996 Chevrolet Beretta. A power-train control module, abbreviated PCM, is an automotive component, a control unit, used on motor vehicles. It is generally a combined controller consisting of the engine control unit (ECU) and the transmission control unit (TCU). On some cars, such as many Chryslers, there are multiple computers: the ...

5. Electronic speed control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_speed_control

   An electronic speed control (ESC) is an electronic circuit that controls and regulates the speed of an electric motor. It may also provide reversing of the motor and dynamic braking. Miniature electronic speed controls are used in electrically powered radio controlled models. Full-size electric vehicles also have systems to control the speed of ...

6. Traction control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system

   The predecessor of modern electronic traction control systems can be found in high-torque, high-power rear-wheel-drive cars as a limited slip differential.A limited-slip differential is a purely mechanical system that transfers a relatively small amount of power to the non-slipping wheel, while still allowing some wheel spin to occur.

7. Adaptive cruise control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_cruise_control

   Adaptive cruise control does not provide full autonomy: the system only provides some help to the driver, but does not drive the car by itself. [3] For example, the driver is able to set the cruise control to 55mph, if the car while traveling that speed catches up to another vehicle going only 45mph, the ACC will cause the car to automatically brake and maintain a safe distance behind the ...

8. Body control module - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_control_module

   In automotive electronics, body control module or 'body computer' is a generic term for an electronic control unit responsible for monitoring and controlling various electronic accessories in a vehicle's body.

9. Electronic stability control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_stability_control

   Electronic stability control (ESC), also referred to as electronic stability program (ESP) or dynamic stability control (DSC), is a computerized technology [1] [2] that improves a vehicle's stability by detecting and reducing loss of traction . [3]
