Abstract
A system comprising: a first controller operable to assume one of a plurality of respective states, in a first state the first controller being configured to generate a first controller powertrain signal in order to cause a powertrain to develop drive torque and cause a vehicle to operate in accordance with a target speed value; and a second controller configured to receive from the first controller a state signal responsive to the state assumed by the first controller and the first controller powertrain signal. The second controller is configured to cause a powertrain to deliver an amount of drive torque according to the first controller powertrain signal in dependence on the state signal.
