Abstract
Vehicles, systems and a method for mitigating power hop in a vehicle are provided. The vehicle, for example, may include, but is not limited to a drivetrain, an electronic limited slip differential mechanically coupled to the drivetrain, and a controller communicatively coupled to the electronic limited slip differential, wherein the controller is configured to determine when the vehicle is experiencing a power hop event or when the vehicle may experience a future power hop event, and cause, when the vehicle is experiencing the power hop event or when the vehicle may experience the future power hop event, the electronic limited slip differential to apply torque differentiation pulses to the drivetrain.
