A programmable cruise control for a vehicle having means for sensing the speed of the vehicle (2), a microcomputer (6) with operating software, timing, memory, and input-output circuitry, receiving speed information from the speed sensing means (2) and connectable to cruise control apparatus, and means for controlling the speed of the vehicle (15) connected to the microcomputer (6). There is an input device (12) and a display (17) both attached to and controlled by the microcomputer. One or a plurality of speed settings may be inputted and stored in the microcomputer memory. The stored speed settings may be selected and shown on the display (17), and one of the speed settings may be activated to become the cruise control speed. The microcomputer (6) controls the means for controlling the speed of the vehicle (15), whereby the vehicle travels at the activated speed setting, unless the instantaneous speed is below the activated speed by a pre-selected amount. There are also anti-surge, anti-spin and anti-skid embodiments of the invention.
