Method and systems for determining when to accelerate, decelerate, or maintain current speed of cruise control based on the blindspots of vehicles. Distances between a vehicle and one or more surrounding vehicles are measured using a plurality of sensors. These measurements are used to determine if a vehicle has a surrounding vehicle in its blindspot or if the vehicle is in the blindspot of the surrounding vehicle. Cost calculations are made to determine the individual cost calculations of maintaining current speed versus changing the acceleration. The lowest cost calculation is selected and implemented by the vehicle such that velocity is maintained or acceleration of the vehicle is changed.
