Steve,

You may want to check again -- some of the modern production cruise controls
have been redone in fuzzy because of the variations in the vehicles, the
conditions, the driver's habits and the wear on the mechanical components. We
generally have to tune the "classical control systems" to the type of vehicles
and then offer installer-settable less-than-optimal choices to compensate for
these variations. Although I don't want to give away any competitive secrets,
you may find some Pic (or other micro) fuzzy powered vehicle cruise systems
sooner than you think.

Tom.
