Abstract: Methods and systems for inhibiting an acceleration event prediction includes determining a current vehicle operating condition. An acceleration event is predicted based on a plurality of stored predictions that match the current vehicle operating condition. A determination is made whether to inhibit the acceleration event prediction. The acceleration event prediction is permitted to modify an acceleration event powertrain control such that a powertrain control occurs. A driver noncompliance with the acceleration event powertrain control is stored as a machine learning data and the current vehicle operating condition is stored as machine learning data upon the driver noncompliance. The stored machine learning data is used to determine whether to inhibit a future acceleration event prediction.
