A vehicle speed control system is configured to automatically control the speed of the vehicle in dependence on an input set-speed. The system receives a user input of a target set-speed at which the vehicle is intended to travel. The system includes an input device to enable the user to incrementally increase and/or decrease the target set-speed upon each actuation of the input device by an incremental value. Torque is applied to at least one of the vehicle's wheels for propelling the vehicle at the vehicle control speed. The control system is configured to determine the incremental value in dependence upon at least one of: the instantaneous vehicle speed; the target set-speed; or the terrain over which the vehicle is travelling.
A control system for a vehicle having a plurality of wheels, the control system is configured to automatically control the speed of the vehicle to a vehicle control speed in dependence on an input target set-speed and the terrain over which the vehicle is travelling, the control system comprising:
