Abstract
A computer in a vehicle is programmed to operate a vehicle along a predefined course according to predetermined criteria, record an optimal path through the predefined course based on operation of the vehicle according to the predetermined criteria, monitor operation of at least one vehicle control while the vehicle is operated by a human driver along the predefined course, and actuate the at least one vehicle control based on a predetermined deviance from the optimal path.
Claims20
A computer programmed to:
- autonomously operate a vehicle along a predefined course according to predetermined criteria;
- simultaneously record an optimal path through the predefined course based on operation of the vehicle according to the predetermined criteria;
- then monitor operation of at least one vehicle control while the vehicle is operated by a human driver along the predefined course;
- and
- while monitoring, actuate the at least one vehicle control based on a predetermined deviance from the recorded optimal path.
