Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed to facilitate safety checks for high-performance vehicle features. An example vehicle comprises a global positioning system (GPS) receiver, sensors, a processor and a memory. The GPS receiver generates location information. The sensors generate road information. The processor and memory are in communication with the sensors and the GPS receiver. The processor is configured to: determine a road type using the location information; determine a road clearance status using the road information; and generate a warning message including an override button based on one or more of the road type and the road clearance status.
