A method for controlling automated vehicle acceleration and braking includes detecting, via at least one vehicle object sensor of a host vehicle, a closest-in-path (CIP) target vehicle ahead of the host vehicle, obtaining a path history of the CIP target vehicle, the path history including multiple historic positions of the CIP target vehicle at specified time intervals, obtaining a path history of the host vehicle, the path history of the host vehicle including multiple historic positions of the host vehicle at the specified time intervals, comparing the path history of the CIP target vehicle to the path history of the host vehicle to determine a divergence index, and in response to the divergence index being less than a specified divergence threshold, controlling automated acceleration and braking of the host vehicle based at least in part on tracked movement of the CIP target vehicle.
