Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to modify vehicle function based on loading conditions. An example apparatus includes a vehicle load condition manager programmed to modify a feature of a vehicle when a load condition of the vehicle satisfies a threshold, wherein at least one of the feature or the threshold is based upon a profile of a user of the vehicle.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a load condition determiner to calculate a load condition of a vehicle based on a sensor value;
- a threshold comparator to determine whether the load condition on the vehicle satisfies a threshold, the threshold based upon a profile of a user of the vehicle;
- and
- a vehicle feature modifier to modify a feature of the vehicle when the load condition satisfies the threshold, the feature modified based upon the profile.

A method comprising:
- calculating a load condition of a vehicle based on a sensor value;
- determining whether the load condition on the vehicle satisfies a threshold, the threshold based upon a profile of a user of the vehicle;
- and
- in response to the load condition satisfying the threshold, modifying a feature of the vehicle, the feature modified based upon the profile.
