Thanks again for all the comments. Infact the last iteration of the alpha prototype was a two button system. One for assist and one for cancel. The driver sets the cruise and then presses the assist button. Within one second, the assist system is applying 65-75 amps at 100 Volts. Anytime the brake is depressed or the driver presses cancel, the system cancels and returns to charge mode. This is alot less complicated and didn't rely on collecting vehicle data. I just didn't think the majority of regular drivers would want that level of interaction. I do agree that this tool in conjunction with hypermiling techniques could yield great results. I will defiinately keep this version part of the line up.
