Abstract:
The disclosure includes embodiments for modifying a performance of a vehicle component whose performance is affected by a vehicle fluid that is contaminated by water. A method according to some embodiments includes recording sensor data describing refractometry measurements for the vehicle fluid. The method includes determining contamination data that describes an amount of water present in the vehicle fluid. The method includes analyzing the contamination data to determine parameter data describing modifications for a set of parameters for an advanced driver assistance system (“ADAS system”) that control the operation of the ADAS system, wherein the parameter data is operable to update the set of parameters and thereby modify the operation of the ADAS system to compensate for the amount of water present in the vehicle fluid so that vehicle component performs as though the vehicle fluid is substantially not contaminated by water.

Claim (Index 12):
The system of  claim 9 , wherein the ADAS system is a vehicular system that is operable to perform or control a performance of one or more of the following vehicle functions: how easily a steering wheel of the vehicle is turned by a driver of the vehicle; how much resistance the steering wheel provides to the driver when the driver turns the steering wheel; how readily a braking system of the vehicle decelerates when the driver depresses a braking pedal of the vehicle; how readily an engine of the vehicle accelerates when the driver of the vehicle depresses an accelerator of the vehicle; how aggressive or passive a transmission of the vehicle changes one or more gears of the transmission when the driver of the vehicle provides an input that is operable to affect how or when the transmission changes the one or more gears of the transmission; and how sluggish an engine of the vehicle performs when the driver provides an input that is operable to affect the operation of the engine.
