Abstract
Disclosed is a computer system having a processing circuitry configured to detect, using sensors of a host vehicle, a high acceleration traffic situation involving a secondary vehicle. The processing circuitry is configured to estimate a required power to handle the high acceleration traffic situation clear of the secondary vehicle within a timeframe. The processing circuitry is configured to determine the required power exceeds a current power available in an activated ECO mode of the host vehicle. The processing circuitry is configured to adapt a driving mode of the host vehicle from the ECO mode to a higher power mode providing higher propulsion power than in the ECO mode.
