Abstract
A mean of real-time accelerator pedal output of a vehicle that quantifies an extent to which an accelerator pedal has been pressed by a driver of the vehicle over a defined period of time is determined. Target mean accelerator pedal output for the vehicle is determined. Torque of the vehicle is changed. The torque is reduced when the mean of the real-time accelerator pedal output is lower than the target mean accelerator pedal output, and the torque is increased when the mean of the real-time accelerator pedal output is higher than the target mean accelerator pedal output.
