Abstract
In at least some implementations, a motion control system for a vehicle includes a steering shaft having an axis of rotation and a motion control input coupled to the steering shaft for rotation with the steering shaft about the axis of rotation. The motion control input is pivotable about a pivot axis that is at a non-zero angle to the axis of rotation, and wherein pivoted movement of the motion control input about the pivot axis in a first direction causes a forward motion of the vehicle, and pivoted movement of the motion control input about the pivot axis in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction reduces a speed of forward motion of the vehicle.
