(57) A method for operating a materials handling vehicle is provided comprising: monitoring, by a controller, a vehicle drive parameter during a most recent manual operation of the vehicle by an operator; replacing, by the controller, any stored first data regarding the monitored vehicle drive parameter associated with a previous manual operation of the vehicle by the operator with second data regarding the monitored vehicle drive parameter during the most recent manual operation of the vehicle, the second data not being based on the first data; receiving, by the controller, a request to implement a semi-automated driving operation; and based on the second data regarding the monitored vehicle drive parameter corresponding to the most recent manual operation, controlling by the controller, implementation of the semi-automated driving operation. The invention also provides a system for operating a materials handling vehicle comprising: a memory storing executable instructions; a processor in communication with the memory, the processor when executing the executable instructions: monitors a vehicle drive parameter during a most recent manual operation of the vehicle by an operator; replaces any stored first data regarding the monitored vehicle drive parameter associated with a previous manual operation of the vehicle by the operator with second data regarding the monitored vehicle drive parameter during the most recent manual operation of the vehicle, the second data not being based on the first data; receives a request to implement a semi-automated driving operation; and controls implementation of the semi-automated driving operation based on the second data regarding the monitored vehicle drive parameter corresponding to the most recent manual operation.
