1. A computer implemented method of controlling a vehicle operation of a vehicle, the vehicle comprising vehicle components operable by processing circuitry based on predicted user behavior,
the method comprising:
receiving, by the processing circuitry, a signal indicative of a current user behavior for a user currently operating the vehicle;
comparing, by the processing circuitry, the current user behavior with a predicted user behavior; and when a difference between the current user behavior and the predicted user behavior is above a predetermined threshold limit:
removing, by the processing circuitry, historical data relating to the predicted user behavior;
forming, by the processing circuitry, new user behavior based on the current user behavior; and
controlling, by the processing circuitry, operation of at least one of the vehicle components using the new user behavior.
 
12. A vehicle control system for controlling a vehicle operation, the vehicle control system comprising a control unit comprising processing circuitry configured to control operation of at least one vehicle component, the processing circuitry being configured:
receive a signal indicative of a current user behavior for a user currently operating the vehicle;
compare the current user behavior with a predicted user behavior;
and when a difference between the current user behavior and the predicted user behavior is above a predetermined threshold limit:
remove historical data relating to the predicted user behavior;
form new user behavior based on the current user behavior; and
control operation of the at least one vehicle component using the new user behavior.
