Abstract
A speed control system is provided for a motor vehicle, including units for calculating a drive torque or a brake torque as a function of a pre-definable target speed, the target speed being pre-defined by the single actuation of an operable control element. A sustained actuation of the control element is used to pre-define a target acceleration, instead of a target speed. The drive torque or brake torque are calculated from the target acceleration.
