1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a requested powertrain control strategy at a vehicle computing system (VCS), including high-level directives for an upcoming route portion, which provide varying guidance for powertrain control under a variety of potential vehicle states; and
utilizing the VCS to automatically control a powertrain based at least in part on a present vehicle state and the strategy aspects coincident with the state, including devising and implementing control-level commands for the powertrain.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes determining that a vehicle powertrain feature is engaged. The method further includes relaying, to a remote computing source, a request for a computation to be performed relating to the engaged powertrain feature. The method additionally includes receiving a result of the computation at a vehicle computing system and transferring the result of the computation to a powertrain for use in controlling the powertrain feature.
