Abstract
Examples of the disclosure are directed to an automated vehicle that can function as a vehicle operator training system. A vehicle that combines sensors, actuators, infotainment, and/or communication functions may have the capability to provide a fully autonomous training experience in a real world environment. The vehicle can administer, monitor, and communicate with a vehicle operator for competency training and/or verification for a specific vehicle feature, sub-feature, situation maneuver, and/or objective.
Claims9
A method of providing vehicle operator training in a vehicle including one or more feedback mechanisms, one or more sensors, and one or more actuators, the method comprising:
- based on first information from the one or more sensors, determining whether an environment of the vehicle is appropriate for a first training program;
- in response to determining the environment is appropriate for the first training program, invoking the first training program including a plurality of training steps;
- providing, via the one or more feedback mechanisms, feedback instructing an operator of the vehicle to carry out a first training step associated with the first training program;
- monitoring second information from the one or more sensors and the one or more actuators for a plurality of criteria associated with the first training step of the first training program;
- in accordance with the second information meeting a first criterion of the plurality of criteria, providing, via the one or more feedback mechanisms, feedback associated with the first criterion;
- and
- in accordance with the second information meeting a second criterion of the plurality of criteria, manipulating the one or more actuators to automatically maneuver the vehicle according to a response associated with the second criterion.
A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a vehicle including one or more feedback mechanisms, one or more sensors, and one or more actuators, cause the vehicle to perform a method of providing vehicle operator training in the vehicle, the method comprising:
- based on first information from the one or more sensors, determining whether an environment of the vehicle is appropriate for a first training program;
- in response to determining the environment is appropriate for the first training program, invoking the first training program including a plurality of training steps;
- providing, via the one or more feedback mechanisms, feedback instructing an operator of the vehicle to carry out a first training step associated with the first training program;
- monitoring second information from the one or more sensors and the one or more actuators for a plurality of criteria associated with the first training step of the first training program;
- in accordance with the second information meeting a first criterion of the plurality of criteria, providing, via the one or more feedback mechanisms, feedback associated with the first criterion;
- and
- in accordance with the second information meeting a second criterion of the plurality of criteria, manipulating the one or more actuators to automatically maneuver the vehicle according to a response associated with the second criterion.
A vehicle, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- one or more feedback mechanisms;
- one or more sensors;
- one or more actuators;
- and
- a memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the vehicle to perform a method of providing vehicle operator training in the vehicle, the method comprising:
- based on first information from the one or more sensors, determining whether an environment of the vehicle is appropriate for a first training program;
- in response to determining the environment is appropriate for the first training program, invoking the first training program including a plurality of training steps;
- providing, via the one or more feedback mechanisms, feedback instructing an operator of the vehicle to carry out a first training step associated with the first training program;
- monitoring second information from the one or more sensors and the one or more actuators for a plurality of criteria associated with the first training step of the first training program;
- in accordance with the second information meeting a first criterion of the plurality of criteria, providing, via the one or more feedback mechanisms, feedback associated with the first criterion;
- and
- in accordance with the second information meeting a second criterion of the plurality of criteria, manipulating the one or more actuators to automatically maneuver the vehicle according to a response associated with the second criterion.
