1. A method for a hybrid or electric vehicle comprising:
operating the hybrid or electric vehicle in a running state where a control setting of a driveline controller is selected via a gear shift lever;
monitoring a requested torque of an electric machine and a clutch position;
predicting a torque at an output shaft by multiplying the requested torque and clutch position; and
transitioning from operating the hybrid or electric vehicle in the running state to operating in a default state via a default state component that has priority over the control setting of the driveline controller in response to an indication of the predicted torque exceeding a threshold torque.
