A method 100 of automatically controlling the speed of a vehicle as the vehicle traverses a water obstacle is provided. The method comprises detecting that the vehicle has entered a water obstacle 102. The method further comprises determining a depth of the water proximate the vehicle 104 based on readings or information received from, for example, one or more sensors or other components of the vehicle 118. And when the depth of the water exceeds a predetermined depth 106, the method still further comprises automatically reducing the speed of the vehicle 108 such that a bow wave created in the water by the vehicle that propagates ahead of the vehicle and in an intended direction of travel of the vehicle. The speed of the vehicle may be further controlled automatically relate to the progress of the bow wave 100, 112. A system for implementing the methodology is also provided. |
