1. A method comprising:
- determining, based on a user selection, a desired driving profile to apply to a vehicle;
identifying a set of alterations to operating parameters of vehicle systems associated with the desired driving profile;
determining a first subset of the set of the alterations to the operating parameters that the vehicle can execute by;
evaluating each operating parameter of the set of the alterations and marking first ones of the operating parameters as valid when the first ones of the operating parameters of the set of the alterations conform to a set of rules defining the operation of the vehicle;
when an operating parameter of the set of the alterations does not conform to the set of rules, marking the operating parameter as invalid; and
storing the first ones of the operating parameters as the first subset of the set of the alterations that the vehicle can execute; and
in response to determining the first subset that the vehicle can execute, applying the first subset to the vehicle to produce the desired driving profile.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed to alter the driving profile of a vehicle. An example method disclosed herein determines, based on a user selection, a desired driving profile to apply to a vehicle. The example method includes identifying a set of alterations to operating parameters of vehicle systems associated with the desired driving profile. The example method includes determining a subset of the set of alterations that the vehicle can execute, and in response to determining the subset that the vehicle can execute, applying the subset to the vehicle to produce the desired driving profile.

8. A tangible article of manufacture including instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to perform operations comprising:
-
determining, based on a user selection, a desired driving profile to apply to a vehicle; identifying a set of alterations to operating parameters of vehicle systems associated with the desired driving profile; determining a first subset of the set of the alterations to the operating parameters that the vehicle can execute by; evaluating each operating parameter in the set of the alterations and marking first ones of the operating parameters of the set of the alterations as valid when the first ones of the operating parameters of the set of the alterations conform to a set of rules defining operation of the vehicle; when an operating parameter of the set of the alterations does not conform to the set of rules, marking the operating parameter as invalid; and storing the first ones of the operating parameters as the first subset of the set of the alterations that the vehicle may execute; and applying the first subset to the vehicle to produce the desired driving profile when the first subset of the set of the alterations is determined to be executable by the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory to store machine readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising; determining, based on a user selection, a desired driving profile to apply to a vehicle; identifying a set of alterations to operating parameters of vehicle systems associated with the desired driving profile; determining a first subset of the set of the alterations to the operating parameters that the vehicle can execute by; evaluating each operating parameter in the set of the alterations and marking first ones of the operating parameters of the set of the alterations as valid when the first ones of the operating parameters of the set of the alterations conform to a set of rules defining operation of the vehicle; when an operating parameter of the set of the alterations does not conform to the set of rules, marking the operating parameter as invalid; storing the first ones of the operating parameters as the first subset of the set of the alterations that the vehicle may execute; and in response to determining the subset that the vehicle can execute, applying the subset to the vehicle to produce the desired driving profile. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
