Claim 16:
17. A vehicle comprising:
an accelerator pedal;

a controller programmed to,
increase a regenerative braking torque of the electric machine to a first value based on releasing the accelerator pedal during a first driving scenario that corresponds to a first set of data that includes route attribute data and data that is indicative of the conditions external to the vehicle,
increase a regenerative braking torque of the electric machine to a second value that is less than the first value based on releasing the accelerator pedal during a second driving scenario that corresponds to a second set of data that includes the route attribute data and the data that is indicative of the conditions external to the vehicle,
wherein the data that is indicative of the conditions external to the vehicle includes a proximity of other vehicles, weather conditions, or traffic conditions,
wherein the route attribute data includes a road grade of the predetermined route, a speed limit of the predetermined route, a road curvature of the predetermined route, or expected stops along the predetermined route, and
