Electronic throttle control (ETC) is an automobile technology that uses electronics to replace the traditional mechanical linkages between the driver's input such as a foot pedal to the vehicle's throttle mechanism which regulates speed or acceleration. This concept is often called drive by wire,[1][2] and sometimes called accelerate-by-wire, throttle-by-wire,[3] and occasionally e-gas by some vehicle components manufacturers.[citation needed]
