Aspects of the present disclosure are directed towards hysteresis engaged vehicle cruise control apparatuses, and systems and methods that facilitate energy efficiency as a function of external energy obstacles. The method and system includes an adaptable terrain-based speed profile and terrain-based work function for maintaining a vehicle at a desired speed and selected speed range. The speed profile further includes a terrain-based driving preference associated with an identifier that identifies a particular driver and driving profile. Vehicle-related data is generated with regard to energy efficiency obstacles, and vehicle speed is automatically adjusted based on this data to facilitate fuel economy. In certain embodiments, vehicle-related data is sent to a cloud-computing system for processing. In other embodiments, the desired speed and terrain-based speed profile is influenced by user or external inputs.
