Problems to be Solved by the Prior Art and the Invention: Feedback control of the throttle valve opening so that the speed of the vehicle (herein referred to as vehicle speed) reaches a preset value without stepping on the accelerator pedal. Automatic constant speed driving is widely practiced (Reference: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-1.0783

The automatic constant speed driving system for this purpose consists of an actuator that adjusts the throttle valve opening, a vehicle speed sensor that detects the vehicle speed, and a control circuit that performs feedback control to maintain the vehicle speed at the set speed.
(for example, a microcomputer), but if the microcomputer goes out of control or malfunctions, the automatic constant speed cruise control is executed even though it is not actually set, and the driver's expectations are This could lead to an increase in the speed of vehicles that do not.
