Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for predictive road sensing to minimize transient electrical load issues in a vehicle. More specifically, various embodiments include a system and method for minimizing electrical load issues in a vehicle by sensing a vehicle's surroundings using sensing devices (such as sensors, or a camera), utilizing detected road condition information to determine a need for starting and/or operating a motor, and preemptively soft starting the motors to avoid a spike in transient load for the vehicular control system. 本发明的各种实施例提供最小化车辆中的瞬态电力负荷问题的预测道路感测的系统和方法。更具体地，各种实施例包括种用于通过使用感测装置(比如传感器、或摄像机)感测车辆周围、利用检测到的道路状况信息来确定启动和/或操作马达的需要、并且抢先地软启动马达以避免用于车辆控制系统的瞬态负荷的尖峰来最小化车辆中的电力负荷问题的系统和方法。
