Determining acceptable responses for navigating a vehicle that accounts for external conditions of the vehicle

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, by a computing system, sensor data for a surrounding environment outside a vehicle, the sensor data collected by a plurality of sensors;
• determining, by the computing system, an action for a driver of the vehicle to perform, responsive to the surrounding environment, based on the sensor data;
• determining, by the computing system, a response time range for the driver to perform the action based on a number of obstacles in the surrounding environment, wherein the response time range for the driver to perform the action increases based on a decrease in the number of obstacles in the surrounding environment or decreases based on an increase in the number of obstacles in the surrounding environment;
• determining, by the computing system, based on control area network (CAN) data collected from the vehicle, performance of the action and an actual response time associated with the performance of the action;
• determining, by the computing system, that the actual response time is not within the response time range for the driver to perform the action;
• and
• causing, by the computing system, a remedial action to be performed in response to determining that the actual response time is not within the response time range for the driver to perform the action.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• receiving sensor data for a surrounding environment outside a vehicle, the sensor data collected by a plurality of sensors;
• determining an action for a driver of the vehicle to perform, responsive to the surrounding environment, based on the sensor data;
• determining a response time range for the driver to perform the action based on a number of obstacles in the surrounding environment, wherein the response time range for the driver to perform the action increases based on a decrease in the number of obstacles in the surrounding environment or decreases based on an increase in the number of obstacles in the surrounding environment;
• determining based on control area network (CAN) data collected from the vehicle, performance of the action and an actual response time associated with the performance of the action;
• determining that the actual response time is not within the response time range for the driver to perform the action;
• and
• causing a remedial action to be performed in response to determining that the actual response time is not within the response time range for the driver to perform the action.
