A method for controlling a vehicle includes determining whether one or more surrounding vehicles demonstrate threatening behavior, and (when it is determined that one or more surrounding vehicles demonstrate threatening behavior) controlling the vehicle to perform one or more threat evasive actions. Example threatening behavior comprises a first surrounding vehicle directly in front of the vehicle slowing down in absence of traffic related reason to slow down, possibly in combination with a second surrounding vehicle in an adjacent lane to the vehicle slowing down in association with the first surrounding vehicle.
