1. A system comprising:
- a processor configured to;
access driver-specific driving-mode-change data for a current vehicle location;
determine, based on the accessed data, if a vehicle driving-mode-change at the vehicle location previously occurred sufficiently to cross a predefined threshold ratio of occurrences to number of instances the vehicle was at the vehicle location; and
if the vehicle driving-mode-change occurred more than the threshold ratio, automatically change a vehicle driving-mode to a driving-mode associated with the driving-mode-change.

Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to receive a vehicle location and to access driver-specific driving-mode-change data for the vehicle location. The processor is also configured to determine, based on the accessed data, if a vehicle driving-mode-change has previously occurred at the vehicle location and context a sufficient number of times to cross a predefined threshold and, if so, to automatically change a vehicle driving-mode to the driving-mode associated with the previous driving-mode-change.

9. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
accessing driver-specific driving-mode-change data for a current vehicle location; determining, based on the accessed data, if a vehicle driving-mode-change at the vehicle location has previously occurred sufficiently to cross a predefined threshold threshold ratio of occurrences to number of instances the vehicle was at the vehicle location; and if the vehicle driving-mode-change occurred more than the threshold ratio, automatically changing a vehicle driving-mode to a driving-mode resulting from the driving-mode-change. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 15, 16)

17. A system comprising:
-
a manual driving-mode control for manual input of a vehicle-driving-mode change; a processor, in communication with the manual control, configured to; receive driver input indicating a vehicle-driving-mode change; receive a vehicle location; and store an instance of correspondence between the vehicle-driving-mode change and the vehicle location, including update of a likelihood-of-occurrence variable value, representing a present and past receipt of the driver-input indicating a vehicle-driving-mode change at the received vehicle location. - View Dependent Claims (18)
