1. A vehicle comprising:
- a sensor system outputting one or more signals; and
an electronic control unit communicatively coupled to the sensor system and configured to;
detect a target vehicle external to the vehicle based on the one or more signals output by the 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
affect 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.

Abstract
A vehicle includes a sensor system outputting one or more signals and an electronic control unit communicatively coupled to the sensor system. The electronic control unit may be configured to detect a target vehicle external to the vehicle based on the one or more signals output by the 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.
