Nope

I will add something though. I've heard that the ECU's in most new(er) cars 'learn' from the first 50 miles put on the engine. It's not a great idea to thrash a brand new car though, as (obviously) the engine will need to be run in.

The only real 'self learning' ECU's are aftermarket standalone jobbies, and even then not all of them will come with this feature.
