Patent Images
1. A vehicle comprising:
- an identification system disposed within the vehicle and configured to acquire information from a token in a vicinity of the vehicle and to classify a driver of the vehicle based on the information;
a sensor arrangement disposed within the vehicle and configured to measure a plurality of parameters representing the vehicle'"'"'s current handling condition and the vehicle'"'"'s limit handling condition; and
at least one controller in communication with the identification system and sensor arrangement, and configured to determine a margin between the vehicle'"'"'s current handling condition and limit handling condition and to record a history of the margin if the driver classification is of a particular type.
