1. A method for controlling a cruise control system on a vehicle, the method comprising:

  • identifying a vehicle location;

    identifying a number of respective cruise control overrides by a driver at the vehicle location;

    if the number of cruise control overrides by the driver is at least a threshold number of overrides;

    identifying respective actions by the driver after the cruise control overrides; and

    controlling the cruise control system by creating a profile of the driver behavior associated with the vehicle location based on the respective actions by the driver within a range around the vehicle location after the driver overrode the cruise control;

    identifying a road terrain associated with the vehicle location;

    determining if a number of cruise control overrides by other drivers occur at the vehicle location is at least a predetermined number;

    if the number of overrides by other drivers occur at the vehicle location is at least the predetermined number, determining the override by the driver at the vehicle location is statistically relevant; and

    if the override by the driver at the vehicle location is statistically relevant, updating a central cruise control database to set a default profile for behaviors of all drivers at the vehicle location.
