Good luck with this. My 2013 car has a sensor that tries to detect if you're swerving too hard, tuning down the engine if it thinks you've lost control. It engages way, way too often - e.g. a bumpy road on cold tires will easily trigger it.

My car also thinks I'm too stupid not to drive on busy roads with lots of parked cars and often thinks I'm about to slam in to a parked car. Like, did anybody test it in the UK? Our roads are narrow and full of parked cars!
