Methods, systems, and apparatus for controlling a speed regulator are described. A monitor detects a speed of a vehicle. A speed regulator controller retracts the speed regulator from an extended configuration to a retracted configuration based on the detected speed in response to the vehicle traveling at a speed less than a defined speed, the speed regulator being configurable to extend and retract.
