ArtifactAutomatic Accelerator Control Kit, circa 1950
This aftermarket device, which used a ratchet mechanism to clamp down a car's accelerator pedal, was a basic version of cruise control. The device simply held the gas pedal in one position, rather than holding the car at one speed like true cruise control. The mechanism interlocked with the brake pedal and released the ratchet whenever the brake was pressed.
