Claim 8:
9. A system for controlling automatic overtake functionality for a host vehicle, the system comprising:
a plurality of sensors configured to obtain:
sensor data pertaining to the host vehicle and a roadway on which the host vehicle is travelling; and
driver inputs; and
a processor coupled to the plurality of sensors and configured to at least facilitate:
determining when an automatic overtake is recommended, using the sensor data in conjunction with one or more threshold values;
adjusting the one or more threshold values for the automatic overtake based on the driver inputs, by:
adjusting a timer for a delay between recommended overtake actions based on a driver override of one or more of the recommended overtake actions, wherein the adjusting of the timer is based on both:
an exponential short term adjustment in response to driver inputs during a current vehicle drive; and
a linear long term adjustment in response to driver inputs across multiple vehicle drives; and

providing instructions to one or more vehicle systems including one or more of a propulsion system, a steering system, or a braking system of the host vehicle for selectively executing the automatic overtake based on the adjusted one or more threshold values.
