  • Patent number: 11820390
    Abstract: A method for automatic adjustment of the performance of a vehicle may include detecting at least one significant physical quantity for checking the performance of the vehicle; defining at least one pair of reference indicators correlated with that physical quantity; saving at least one value of a said reference indicator in a predetermined nominal reference condition; detecting at least one value of a said reference indicator in a real operating condition of the vehicle; comparing said nominal reference indicator and real reference indicator and, if their values are different from each other, and implementing a correction of the driving power of the vehicle to compensate for the difference ascertained.
