1. A first vehicle traveling on a road, comprising:
- a communication device coupled in the first vehicle configured to receive information transmitted by a second vehicle traveling on the road, said information identifying road surface conditions experienced by said second vehicle and a location of said road surface conditions;
a pedal operated by a driver of the first vehicle;
an electronically controlled throttle positioned based at least on a position of the pedal; and
a controller for adjusting a powertrain output of the first vehicle in response to actuation of said pedal, and during said adjusting, receiving said transmitted information from said second vehicle, and adjusting a control resolution of a relationship of the pedal position corresponding to the electronically controlled throttle position in response to said received information.
