We just call it a gas pedal. All the same thing to me.
Cruise control just keeps the car at the same speed. Set it for say 75 MPH
& it will stay there unless you use the brakes or step on the gas.
Many variations on how it works. I have had cruise on all my cars from
apx 1970 models to date. Never use it. Old cars gave you a strange
feeling but newer ones are quite refined. I still want to drive my
car / truck NOT have it drive me.
