The present disclosure relates to a controller e.g. speed control system, for a vehicle (Fig.1, 10). The controller comprises an input for receiving a target speed demand, from a target speed input 38, 40, and a current speed, sensed from a speed sensor 32. The controller also comprises a control module 44 arranged to generate a resistance force or haptic feedback in response to the current speed exceeding the target speed. In addition, the controller comprises an output 46 arranged to output a resistance command to a mechanism for applying the resistance force to an accelerator or gas pedal (Fig.2, 18). The resistance force may be sufficient to allow the pedal to act as a footrest. The driver may input the target speed manually or the speed may be automatically input based on traffic signs, navigation data or obstacles within a three-dimensional mapped environment around the vehicle. |
