A system and method of controlling a vehicle is provided. In one aspect, the system and method determines the amount of wear on a component of the vehicle and, based on the amount of wear and information derived from the environment surrounding the vehicle (e.g., another vehicle in the path of the vehicle or a requirement to stop at a particular location), maneuvers the vehicle to mitigate further wear on the component.

1. A method of maneuvering a vehicle comprising: detecting a characteristic of an environment surrounding the vehicle;monitoring an actual braking distance of the vehicle;comparing, with a processor, the actual braking distance to an expected braking distance to determine an amount of brake wear of the vehicle, wherein increases in the amount of brake wear are affected by different maneuvers; andselecting, with the processor, between a first maneuver and a second maneuver based on the detected characteristic of the environment and the detected amount of brake wear, the second maneuver including an application of brake pressure at a level lesser than that of the first maneuver; andmoving the vehicle in accordance with the selected maneuver,wherein the first maneuver is selected when there is a first amount of brake wear and the second maneuver is selected when a second amount of brake wear is detected, the second amount being greater than the first amount. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the second maneuver includes employing a brake distance longer than a brake distance of the first maneuver. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein detecting a characteristic of the environment comprises detecting an object external to the vehicle and maneuvering in response to the object. 4. The method of claim 3 wherein the object is a stop sign. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein detecting a characteristic of the environment comprises determining a traffic requirement. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the vehicle is moved autonomously in accordance with the selected maneuver in response to instructions from the processor. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the processor determines the amount of brake wear when the actual braking distance is longer than the expected braking distance. 8. The method of claim 1 further comprising moving the vehicle autonomously to a repair facility after the performance of the maneuver. 9. A method of controlling a vehicle comprising: determining an amount of damage to a first component of the vehicle;determining a geographic position of the vehicle; andcompensating, with a processor, for the amount of damage to the first component by: accessing location-specific traffic rule information based on the geographic position of the vehicle; andchanging movement of the vehicle, based on the geographic position and the location-specific traffic rule information, by issuing an instruction to a second component before the first component is engaged. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the geographic position of the vehicle is determined based on traffic requirements at geographic locations and detecting the position of the vehicle. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the damage to the first component of the vehicle comprises brake wear. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the first component is a brake, and the second component is a throttle. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein to compensate for damage to the brake, the processor issues the instruction to the throttle before the brake is engaged, and wherein the instruction includes a provision of energy to an engine of the vehicle at a lesser amount than if the amount of damage to the brake does not exceed a threshold. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the threshold is associated with excessive wear of the brake. 15. A method of controlling a vehicle comprising: determining wear on a component of the vehicle;determining a geographic position of the vehicle;determining traffic requirements in a path of the vehicle;selecting, with a processor, between a first and second maneuver based on the determined wear and the determined geographic position, wherein at least one difference between the first and second maneuver is selected from the group consisting of rate of acceleration, rate of deceleration and direction;moving the vehicle in accordance with the selected maneuver; andafter moving the vehicle in accordance with the selected maneuver, determining whether passengers are present in the vehicle, and moving the vehicle to a repair facility under the control of the processor when passengers are not present in the vehicle. 16. A system of controlling a movement of a vehicle comprising: a processor;a memory accessible by the processor; andinstructions contained in the memory and executable by the processor,wherein the instructions comprise: determining a geographic location of the vehicle relative to a location-dependent vehicle movement restriction,determining whether a first component of the vehicle is damaged,providing a first instruction to a second component of the vehicle to move the vehicle so as to comply with the location-dependent movement restriction when the first component is determined to be not damaged, andproviding a second instruction to the second component to move the vehicle so as to comply with the location-dependent movement restriction when the first component is determined to be damaged, wherein the movement instructed by the second instruction is different than the movement instructed by the first instruction, and wherein the second instruction includes a provision of energy to an engine of the vehicle at a lesser amount than that of the first instruction. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the second component is a throttle.
