Abstract
System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to enhancing operator vigilance without causing an adverse reaction. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a disengagement likelihood; selecting a stimulus pattern that if executed adjusts a vehicle function; and executing the stimulus pattern if the disengagement likelihood is above a first threshold and below a second threshold.
Claims20
A system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a processor;
- and a memory storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- receive a disengagement likelihood of an autonomous vehicle function ceasing operative control;
- select a time-varying stimulus pattern that if executed adjusts a vehicle function;
- execute the stimulus pattern if when the disengagement likelihood is within a numerical range bounded by a lower threshold and an upper threshold above which an alert is issued;
- detect an action by the driver countering the stimulus pattern;
- and
- adjust the stimulus pattern to avoid a repeat of the action.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a disengagement likelihood of an autonomous vehicle function ceasing operative control;
- select a time-varying stimulus pattern that if executed adjusts a vehicle function;
- execute the stimulus pattern if the disengagement likelihood is within a numerical range bounded by a lower threshold and an upper threshold above which an alert is issued;
- detect an action by the driver countering the stimulus pattern;
- and
- adjust the stimulus pattern to avoid a repeat of the action.
