Abstract
While operating a host vehicle in a first lane on a road, respective first statistical probabilities of a) an average speed of a plurality of vehicles, including the host vehicle, operating in the first lane, b) an average distance between the vehicles operating in the first lane, and c) an average number of braking events performed by the vehicles operating in the first lane are determined based on sensor data. A high traffic density probability for the road is determined based on the first statistical probabilities. A host vehicle assist feature is transitioned between an enabled state and a disabled state based on the high traffic density probability for the road being greater than a threshold probability.
