System and method for controlling a vehicle that includes sensing driver control information from each of at least two foot actuated pedals of a vehicle. The sensed information is electronically analyzed and a driver desired vehicle acceleration is determined from the sensed information. An acceleration affecting system of the vehicle is then controlled to urge the vehicle toward the driver desired vehicle acceleration. The sensed driver vehicle control information may be translated into an electronic format suitable for being electronically analyzed, but in most instances will already be in such a format and no translation is necessary. Both positive and negative determinations of driver desired vehicle acceleration are accommodated which generally correspond to desired faster travel and desired slower travel, respectively, when the vehicle is in forward motion. An electronic control command is computed and utilized to control the acceleration affecting Environmentally imposed effects on the vehicle are considered in the computation of the electronic control command that is utilized in the step of controlling the acceleration affecting The acceleration affecting system is configured to include a power supplying sub-system and a braking sub-system, the power supplying sub-system and the braking sub-system establishing opposed acceleration affecting sub-systems.
