Systems and methods for promoting driver engagement using active feedback

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for engaging a driver of a vehicle about driving behaviors and storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

• compute predicted controls according to at least a defined skill level of the driver, wherein the predicted controls indicate how to control the vehicle to maintain the vehicle along a driving path on a roadway;
• and
• in response to receiving manual control inputs from the driver, generate control feedback to the driver about the manual control inputs based, at least in part, on a difference between the manual control inputs and the predicted controls.

A method for engaging a driver of a vehicle about driving behaviors, comprising:

• computing predicted controls according to at least a defined skill level of the driver, wherein the predicted controls indicate how to control the vehicle to maintain the vehicle along a driving path on a roadway,
• in response to receiving manual control inputs from the driver, generating control feedback to the driver about the manual control inputs based, at least in part, on a difference between the manual control inputs and the predicted controls.
