Abstract
An inter-vehicle distance control system for a vehicle wherein the distance between the vehicle and a preceding object and a relative velocity therebetween are detected by a detection system such as a radar system, and when this distance has become shorter than a predetermined value, a reaction force is imparted to a throttling operation member such as a throttling pedal. The vehicle operator is effectively advised of this fact.
