Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a transmission of a hybrid powertrain that includes a motor/generator are described. The systems and methods may permit or inhibit transmission shifting in response to objects or conditions in a vehicles travel path. Transmission shifting is not permitted when conditions indicate the possibility of excessive transmission shifting.
