Throttle call. Needs less opening if intake air is dense. And other conditions apply.
The 2014 Ram I6-6.7L Diesel went to two intake paths. Cold or Hot. First time in 25-Years. Software is now such that smaller gradations can factor.
The Detroit 13L driveline (DT-12 auto) I’m currently driving is more sophisticated than most would believe. . There’s a great deal goes into fly-by-wire, and “they” are getting it.
One can’t do what one wants anymore as to gearing and throttle opening, so adapting to what’s available from the drivetrain is the only course.
Regulating hot versus cold makes sense.
It’s about making the driver redundant. A.I. vehicles. And constricting choices of roads, passing zones, speed limits, etc. Remove the fun. Remove driving skill as a factor. Accept being (a full fledged Communist) part of an undifferentiated herd.
