Abstract
An electric motor control system for a vehicle includes a vehicle speed module that determines a vehicle speed. A target speed module selectively transitions a target vehicle speed to zero over a period in response a driver actuating an input device. The input device is not an accelerator pedal or a brake pedal. A switching control module, based on a difference between a target vehicle speed and the vehicle speed, controls switching of an inverter to control application of power to an electric motor of the vehicle.
