Abstract
A memory is configured to store statistics indicative of historical vehicle use patterns. A processor is programmed to identify a next reboot time and top locations at which reboot is allowed according to the statistics, and upon transition to a keyoff state, reboot a vehicle controller responsive to confirmation that a current time has reached at least the next reboot time and that the vehicle is located at one of the top locations.
