Field Oriented Control of Permanent Magnet Motors
Why people recommend it
A Texas Instruments presentation on field oriented control for three-phase motors, cited to explain how controllers command torque by steering phase currents.
Watch for: Long lecture format; assumes some control theory background
In their words
There is this very nice video from Texas Instrument that covers the subject of FOC very well.

In this video, at 16:23, the presenter says that when we press the accelerator pedal in an electric car, we are "commanding torque and not speed".
