Adapting an advanced driver assistance system of a vehicle

A method for adapting an adaptive cruise control system of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• accessing a driver profile identifying a set of control parameters for the adaptive cruise control system;
• driving the vehicle with the adaptive cruise control system using the set of control parameters;
• receiving, from a driver of the vehicle, a request to activate a learning mode for the adaptive cruise control system;
• activating, with an electronic processor, a learning mode of the adaptive cruise control system in response to receiving the request;
• receiving, from the driver via an accelerator pedal or a brake pedal of the vehicle, feedback associated with control of a speed of the vehicle;
• adjusting, with the electronic processor, at least one control parameter included in the set of control parameters based on the feedback;
• deactivating the learning mode of the adaptive cruise control system in response to receiving a learning mode deactivation request from a driver of the vehicle;
• and
• continuing to drive the vehicle using the adaptive cruise control system using the at least one adjusted control parameter following receiving the feedback from the driver via the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal and deactivating the learning mode.

A system for adapting an adaptive cruise control system of a vehicle, the system comprising:

• an electronic processor of the system, the electronic processor configured to drive the vehicle using a control parameter of the adaptive cruise control system,
• receive, from a driver of the vehicle, a request to activate a learning mode for the adaptive cruise control system,
• activate, in response to receiving the request, the learning mode for the adaptive cruise control system,
• continue to drive the vehicle using the control parameter of the adaptive cruise control system,
• receive, from the driver via an accelerator pedal or a brake pedal of the vehicle, feedback associated with control of a speed of the vehicle,
• adjust the control parameter of the adaptive cruise control system based on the feedback,
• drive the vehicle using the adjusted control parameter of the adaptive cruise control system after receiving the feedback from the driver via the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal,
• generate a deactivation recommendation to deactivate the learning mode, and
• deactivate the learning mode of the adaptive cruise control system in response to at least one selected from the group consisting of an occurrence of a predetermined condition and receiving a learning mode deactivation request from a driver of the vehicle wherein the electronic processor is configured to continue driving the vehicle using the adjusted control parameter of the adaptive cruise control system after (a) receiving the feedback from the driver via the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal and (b) deactivating the learning mode.
