1. A method for tailoring a vehicle's steering sensitivity and a vehicle's accelerator pedal sensitivity, the method comprising:
determining a location of the vehicle from a navigation system; determining the vehicle's surroundings and determining whether there are obstacles around the vehicle using RADAR; analyzing map data and predicting from the location and the map data analysis, a condition of a road, which the vehicle will encounter, ahead of where the vehicle is located; determining an optimum configuration for the vehicle steering sensitivity and the vehicle accelerator pedal sensitivity responsive to the road condition the vehicle will encounter, ahead of where the vehicle is located; and changing the vehicle steering sensitivity and the vehicle accelerator pedal sensitivity, responsive to determining surroundings and responsive to determining obstacles around the vehicle using RADAR, and in advance of encountering the road condition the vehicle will encounter, responsive to the step of determining an optimum configuration for the vehicle steering sensitivity and the vehicle accelerator pedal sensitivity.
