1. A fuel control regulator system, comprising:

  • a vehicle including steering, an accelerator, brakes, one or more audio devices in proximity to one or more front crash sensors recording sensor data, a processor, and memory;

    an acoustic pliability module coupled to the processor and configured to dynamically adjust a threshold to lie outside of an amplitude of the sensor data of the one or more front crash sensors compromised by sound from the one or more audio devices,wherein a restraint control module coupled to the acoustic pliability module is configured to register an acceleration or a deceleration of the vehicle that falls outside of predetermined limits, and is configured to confirm whether the front crash sensor data lies within the adjusted threshold,wherein in response to determining by the restraint control module that the acceleration or the deceleration falls outside of the predetermined limits, that the one or more audio devices is activated to produce sound, that the one or more audio devices is in close proximity to the one or more front crash sensors, and that the adjusted threshold of the sensor data lies outside of the amplitude of the sensor data of the one or more front crash sensors, the restraint control module is configured to not issue a fuel shut-off command to a vehicle fuel pump.
