Methods and apparatus to alter a vehicle operation

摘要

Methods and apparatus are disclosed to alter the driving profile of a vehicle. An example method disclosed herein determines, based on a user selection, a desired driving profile to apply to a vehicle. The example method includes identifying a set of alterations to operating parameters of vehicle systems associated with the desired driving profile. The example method includes determining a subset of the set of alterations that the vehicle can execute, and in response to determining the subset that the vehicle can execute, applying the subset to the vehicle to produce the desired driving profile.

1. A method comprising:
determining, based on a user selection, a desired driving profile to apply to a vehicle; identifying a set of alterations to operating parameters of vehicle systems associated with the desired driving profile; determining a first subset of the set of the alterations to the operating parameters that the vehicle can execute by validating the set of the alterations against a set of rules defining operation of the vehicle, wherein the validating includes:
marking first ones of the operating parameters of the set of the alterations as valid when the first ones of the operating parameters of the set of the alterations conform to the set of rules defining the operation of the vehicle;marking second ones of the operating parameters of the set of the alterations as invalid when the second ones of the operating parameters of the set of the alterations do not conform to the set of rules defining the operation of the vehicle; andstoring the first ones of the operating parameters as the first subset of the set of the alterations that the vehicle can execute; and in response to determining the first subset that the vehicle can execute, applying the first subset to the vehicle to produce the desired driving profile.
