Abstract

A vehicle configured to move along a roadway that has an upcoming roadway concern located in front of a front wheel of the vehicle, the vehicle comprising: an independently adjustable suspension system; at least one capture element configured to capture image data corresponding to the upcoming roadway concern; and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to determine, based on current drive control function settings, and the captured image data and vehicle motion data: whether to automatically adjust the independently adjustable suspension system to accommodate an encounter with the upcoming roadway concern, whether to deliver for the driver an indication associated with the upcoming roadway concern, and whether to automatically modify at least one of the current drive control function settings to avoid the upcoming roadway concern.
