• wherein the control device is configured to:
• while automatically controlling the vehicle speed towards the predetermined safe speed as the vehicle approaches the road section of the predetermined type, receive a request from a driver of the vehicle to control the vehicle speed to a temporary vehicle speed different from the predetermined safe speed and the set speed, wherein the temporary vehicle speed is set by the driver;
• in response to said request and without disabling of the control device, control the vehicle speed to the temporary vehicle speed, and
• at an end of the road section of the predetermined type, automatically control the vehicle speed based on the set speed,
• wherein the predetermined type of road section is a curve,
• wherein the control device is configured to identify, during deceleration of the vehicle speed, at least a first type of request from the driver and in response thereto set the temporary vehicle speed to a current vehicle speed of the vehicle at a time of receiving the first type of request, and
• wherein the temporary vehicle speed is higher than the predetermined safe speed.
