Aspects of the present invention relate to an automatic speed controller, an automatic speed control system, to a method for automatic speed control, and to a vehicle. The automatic speed comprises an input for receiving a road classification signal from a road classification module and a vehicle speed information signal from a speed information module, wherein the road classification signal comprises information relating to a road on which the vehicle may travel, and the vehicle speed information signal comprises a speed limit value for the road; an output for outputting a speed offset signal for use in setting a speed of the vehicle; a processor arranged to determine the speed offset signal comprising an offset value, in dependence on the road classification signal and the speed information signal. The present invention provides improved automatic speed control by considering road classification information in conjunction with other factors.
