Abstract
System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to stabilizing a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method for stabilizing a vehicle with a drivetrain having a clutch includes obtaining data indicating one or more aspects of a turning condition of the vehicle, detecting that a hazard state exists based on a comparison of one or more parameters of the turning condition against one or more predetermined thresholds, and executing a clutch kick in response to detecting the hazard state. The clutch kick includes disengaging the clutch and rapidly reengaging the clutch.
