A fluidic control system 1 for an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle is provided. The fluidic control system includes: a controller 2; a variable speed motor 30 operatively connected to the controller 2; and a fluidic circuit. The fluidic circuit comprises: a pump 3 coupled to the motor 30 for pressurising fluid in the circuit; valve means 40, 50, 60 operatively connected to the controller 2; and an actuator 4, 5, 6 fluidly connected to the valve means 40, 50, 60. The controller 2 is configured to control the speed of the motor 30 and to operate the actuator 4, 5, 6 by operating the valve means 40, 50, 60 in order to control the supply of pressurised fluid to the actuator 4, 5, 6.
