Claim:
1. A vehicle system comprising: a sensor configured to detect a speed of a first nearby vehicle in a lane and a second nearby vehicle and output speed signals representing the speeds of the first nearby vehicle and the second nearby vehicle; and a processing device programmed to assign at least one of the speed signals to the lane of the first nearby vehicle, determine a set point speed based on at least one of the speed signals output by the sensor, and generate a command signal to control a host vehicle in accordance with the set point speed, wherein the processor is programmed to compare the speeds of the first nearby vehicle and the second nearby vehicle to a predetermined threshold and wherein the set point speed is determined from the speed of the first nearby vehicle if the speed of the first nearby vehicle does not exceed the predetermined threshold and wherein the processor is programmed to exclude the speed of the second nearby vehicle from the set point speed if the speed of the second nearby vehicle exceeds the predetermined threshold, wherein the processing device controls a host vehicle in accordance with the set point speed.
