A vehicle may include a sensor and a proactive vehicle controller that is capable of proactively altering one or more vehicle operating parameters in response to detecting a force caused by an environmental event that will be exerted on a chassis of the vehicle. The sensor has a field-of-view that includes the direction of travel of the vehicle. The sensor may detect objects in the field-of-view and, based at least in part on the behavior of the objects in the field-of-view, predicts the force exerted on the object by an environmental event. Based on the predicted force, the proactive vehicle controller proactively adjusts one or more vehicle operating parameters to minimize the effect of the force that will be exerted on the vehicle by the environmental event.
