Methods and apparatus for infrastructure-centric vehicle mode selection are provided. An example vehicle includes a GPS receiver 106 to provide a location of the vehicle 100, memory storing instructions, and a processor forming part of a driving mode manager 108. The example processor, when executing the instructions, causes the vehicle 100 to (a) when the vehicle 100 is in a vicinity of an infrastructure of interest 102, determine a low traction anomaly value, and (b) in response to the a low traction anomaly value satisfying a threshold, change a driving mode of the vehicle 100. The driving modes are a collection of settings for the ECUs 104a-104d to change the driving performance of the vehicle 100. In another example the driving mode manager communicatively couples to a beacon 112 installed on the infrastructure of interest 102 via a communication module 110. The driving mode manager 108 receives the coordinates of the infrastructure of interest 102 from the beacon 112.
