1. An apparatus comprising:
memory;
instructions; and
programmable circuitry to execute the instructions to:
access information associated with at least one of a vehicle or a trailer coupled to the vehicle;
access image data associated with a road;
determine, by executing a model based on the information, a threshold speed for the vehicle and the trailer;
reduce the threshold speed based on the image data; and
prevent, by activating at least one vehicle control, the vehicle and the trailer from travelling at or above the threshold speed.
