Vehicles, electronic control units, and methods for effecting vehicle changes based on predicted actions of target vehicles

An electronic control unit configured to:

• detect a target vehicle external to a vehicle based on one or more signals output by a sensor system;
• identify the detected target vehicle;
• determine rating information for at least one of the target vehicle and a driver of the target vehicle;
• predict at least one action of the target vehicle based on the rating information;
• and
• effect one or more changes to the vehicle based on the predicted at least one action of the target vehicle,
• wherein the rating information is based on one or more user inputs.

A method of effecting one or more changes to a vehicle comprising:

• detecting a target vehicle external to the vehicle based on the one or more signals output by a sensor system;
• identifying the detected target vehicle;
• determining rating information for at least one of the target vehicle and a driver of the target vehicle;
• predicting at least one action of the target vehicle based on the rating information;
• and
