Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems pertaining to in-vehicle tutorials are described. A method may involve receiving a request for an in-vehicle tutorial of an operational feature of a vehicle from a user and simulating expected driving behavior corresponding to the operational feature in the vehicle. The method may further include monitoring operational behavior of the user, comparing the operational behavior with the expected driving behavior, and providing a feedback to the user based on the comparison.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by one or more processors, a request for an in-vehicle tutorial of an operational feature of a vehicle from a user;
- simulating, by the one or more processors, an expected driving behavior corresponding to the operational feature of the vehicle by controlling a multimedia user interface of the vehicle to perform a plurality of operations comprising:
- vibrating a steering wheel or another component of the vehicle;
- activating one or more lights of the vehicle;
- and
- engaging in a dialogue with the user using speech recognition and machine learning;
- monitoring an operational behavior of the user by communicating with a plurality of sensors of the vehicle that sense various parameters of the vehicle to collect sensor data from the plurality of sensors;
- comparing, by the one or more processors, the operational behavior with the expected driving behavior;
- and
- providing a feedback to the user based on the comparing.

A method comprising:
- detecting, by one or more processors of one or more computing apparatus, a driving context corresponding to an operational feature of a vehicle;
- initiating, by the one or more processors, an in-vehicle tutorial of the operational feature to a user of the vehicle by controlling a multimedia user interface of the vehicle to perform a plurality of operations comprising:
- vibrating a steering wheel or another component of the vehicle;
- activating one or more lights of the vehicle;
- and
- engaging in a dialogue with the user using speech recognition and machine learning;
- monitoring, by the one or more processors, a driving behavior of the user by communicating with a plurality of sensors of the vehicle that sense various parameters of the vehicle to collect sensor data from the plurality of sensors;
- comparing, by the one or more processors, the driving behavior of the user with an expected driving behavior corresponding to the operational feature;
- and
- providing, by the one or more processors, a feedback to the user based on the comparing.
