	Cruise control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cruise control (sometimes known as speed control or Autocruise, with the acronym ACC) is a system to automatically control the speed of an automobile.
		Speed control with a centrifugal governor was used in automobiles as early as the 1910s, notably by Peerless.
		When the cruise control is in effect, the throttle can still be used to accelerate the car, but once it is released the car will then slow down until it reaches the previously set speed.

		Cruise control can be setup to check for updates to your source control system and perform ant tasks based on the checkins.
		Cruise Control can be configured to send updates to all developers upon a successful build after a failed one.

		Most cruise control switches are on the directional signal stem, a multifunction switch assembly with fine wires that break due to the constant motion of the wires as you use the directionals in your daily travels.
