Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for improving user experiences for autonomous driving. In context of a method, the method determines one or more autonomous transition region parameters for a respective autonomous transition region along a route. The method also, based on the one or more autonomous transition region parameters, determines whether an action is to be performed by a vehicle in accordance with user preference data associated with a user. The method also causes the vehicle to perform the action in accordance with a determination that the action is to be performed by the vehicle.
Claims18
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- for a respective autonomous transition region of one or more autonomous transition regions along a route, determine one or more autonomous transition region parameters;
- for the respective autonomous transition region, and based at least on the one or more autonomous transition region parameters, determine whether an action is to be performed by a vehicle in accordance with user preference data associated with a user, the user preference data comprising one or more predefined rules for performing actions of a vehicle;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the action is to be performed by the vehicle, cause the vehicle to perform the action,
- wherein the action comprises at least one of an automatic engagement or disengagement of autonomous vehicle control,
- wherein the one or more predefined rules is based, at least in part, on a predetermined frequency of autonomous transitions along the route.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- cause presentation of information related to a route, the information comprising one or more parameters associated with one or more autonomous transition regions along the route;
- receive one or more route adjustment preferences;
- and
- based on the one or more route adjustment preferences, determine whether an action is to be performed for a respective autonomous transition region of the one or more autonomous transition regions, such that traversal of the one or more autonomous transition regions by a vehicle is capable of being performed in accordance with the determination,
- wherein the action comprises at least one of an automatic engagement or disengagement of autonomous vehicle control,
- wherein the one or more route adjustment preferences is based, at least in part, on a predetermined frequency of autonomous transitions along the route.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- cause presentation of a notification comprising a plurality of options for one or more autonomous transition regions;
- receive user input from a user, the user input comprising a selection of at least one option of the plurality of options;
- in response to receiving the user input, generate a rule defining one or more actions to be performed or to not be performed based at least on the selection of the at least one option;
- and
- store the rule in association with user preference data of the user, such that the one or more actions are automatically determined to be performed or to not be performed during future traversal of the one or more autonomous transition regions,
- wherein the one or more actions comprises at least one of an automatic engagement or disengagement of autonomous vehicle control,
- wherein the rule is based, at least in part, on a predetermined frequency of autonomous transitions.
