1. A vehicle control system in a vehicle configured to implement personalized adaptive cruise control (ACC), the vehicle control system comprising:
an ACC circuit;
a processor; and
memory coupled to the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
capture event data associated with the vehicle, the event data comprising driver operations and traffic events associated with a cut-in cut-out event;
transmit the event data associated with the vehicle to an adaptive cruise control system,
wherein the adaptive cruise control system uses the event data as input to a machine learning model,
wherein training of the machine learning model updates a profile for a driver that characterizes an observed driving style of the driver in the vehicle during the cut-in cut-out event, and
wherein the profile defines rules to operate the vehicle in ACC to speed up or slow down the vehicle during a future cut-in cut-out event;
receive, from the adaptive cruise control system, the profile at the vehicle; and
when the vehicle is operating in ACC and an event is within a threshold value of the cut-in cut-out event, identify the future cut-in cut-out event and apply the rules defined in the profile to correspond with the observed driving style of the driver.
