An exemplary method for controlling a vehicle includes receiving, by a vehicle controller, sensor data representing a first operating condition of the vehicle from at least one sensor, determining, bythe vehicle controller, a temperature of a vehicle braking system of the vehicle, determining, by the vehicle controller, if the temperature of the vehicle braking system exceeds a temperature threshold, and if the temperature of the vehicle braking system exceeds the temperature threshold, generating, by the vehicle controller, a control signal to move a moveable underbody feature from a first position to a second position. 一种用于控制车辆的示例性方法包括通过车辆控制器从至少一个传感器接收表示车辆的第一运行条件的传感器数据；通过车辆控制器确定车辆的车辆制动系统的温度；通过车辆控制器确定车辆制动系统的温度是否超过温度阈值；以及如果车辆制动系统的温度超过温度阈值，则通过车辆控制器生成使可移动车身底板特征件从第一位置移动至第二位置的控制信号。
