A vehicle control system 10 for at least one vehicle subsystem 12 of a vehicle. The vehicle control system 10 comprising a subsystem controller for controlling the or each of the vehicle subsystems 12 in a plurality of different subsystem control modes. Each control mode corresponds to one or more different driving conditions for the vehicle, evaluation means for evaluating one or more driving condition indicators 16, 17 to determine the probability that each of the subsystem control modes is appropriate and for providing an output 30 indicative of the control mode with the highest probability of being appropriate and an automatic control means operable in an automatic response mode to select an appropriate one of the subsystem control modes in dependence on the output 30. Also claimed is a method involving evaluating one or more driving condition indicators 16, 17 to determine the probability that each of the subsystem control modes is appropriate. |
