1. A method comprising:
determining whether one or more driving parameters of a vehicle exceeds a threshold value associated with that driving parameter, wherein the one or more driving parameters comprises brake pressure, longitudinal acceleration, or pitch rate; and
in response to at least one of the one or more driving parameters exceeding the threshold value associated with that driving parameter, adjusting damping of suspension of the vehicle after the vehicle transitions from a non-zero velocity to a zero velocity.
