The disclosure relates to a system for cruise controlling a vehicle. The system comprises a control unit configured to select a current driving control profile in dependence upon a determination by the system of an environmental and/or situational status of the vehicle. The said driving control profile optionally comprises an acceleration profile selected from two or more different acceleration profiles in dependence upon a determination by the system of an environmental and/or situational status of the vehicle. The said driving control profile comprises a deceleration profile selected from two or more different deceleration profiles in dependence upon a determination by the system of an environmental and/or situational status of the vehicle. The environmental and/or situational status of the vehicle may be determined by consideration of signals comprising data obtained from sensors or control modules comprised within or mounted to the vehicle and/or from information sources external to the vehicle.
