A cruise control system for a motor vehicle. The system includes a setpoint value generator for generating a setpoint value determining the vehicle speed, and an actuating device that controls the speed of the vehicle to a setpoint speed through intervention into the drive and/or braking system. The system automatically adapts the setpoint speed to a predicted roadway curvature. The setpoint value generator includes at least two modules working independently from one another, including a base module for generating a base setpoint value and a curve module for generating a curve setpoint value that represents a maximum speed at which a curve having a given curvature may be negotiated without exceeding a predefined limiting value for the lateral acceleration of the vehicle, and includes a fusion module that forms a final setpoint value for the actuating device from the base setpoint value and the curve setpoint value through minimum selection.
