Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for a video playback control system for a vehicle. The method can include receiving a source of video data and accessing a data store for a run script associated with the playback of the video data. The method can also include if no run script exists in the data store, generating a log of user input received for the playback of the video data. The method can include storing the log in the data store as a run script associated with the playback of the video data.

Abstract: An automatic cruise control system and method for a host vehicle that includes a vehicle follow mode when the host vehicle detects an in-path vehicle and an auto-resume mode for accelerating to a driver set speed upon elimination of the in-path vehicle from the host vehicle path. The auto-resume mode includes a determination of the traffic density around the host vehicle and reduces the rate of acceleration for higher traffic densities.
