Methods and systems for controlling an adaptive cruise control feature of a vehicle are provided. In accordance with one embodiment, a system includes a sensing unit and a processor. The sensing unit is configured to detect passengers, other than a driver, in a vehicle. The processor is coupled to the sensing unit. The processor is configured to at least facilitate controlling an adaptive cruise control feature of the vehicle using a first profile if no passengers are detected in the vehicle, and a second profile, different from the first profile, if one or more passengers are detected in the vehicle.
