A method is provided for use when piloting a vehicle by adaptive cruise control (step 1802) which determines a lane change manoeuvre (step 1806) based on the adaptive cruise control and determined traffic in an adjacent lane (step 1804). A prompt, which may for example be a visual, haptic or audible prompt, is displayed to an occupant (step 1808) based on the lane change manoeuvre. Preferably the vehicle is controlled to maintain a target speed and does not brake to a stop. Determining the traffic may involve determining the traffic density and rate in adjacent lanes, and the manoeuvre may involve changing the vehicle speed to match that into which the vehicle is to merge.
