Systems and methods for vehicle communication consistency

A method of resolving inconsistent communication from an occupant of an autonomously operated vehicle, comprising:

• obtaining a trajectory plan for the vehicle;
• detecting, using one or more internal sensors, body language of the occupant the vehicle;
• analyzing sensor data from the one or more internal sensors to determine a verbal or non-verbal communication indication by the occupant;
• and
• detecting an inconsistency between the verbal or non-verbal communication indication and the trajectory plan and:
• 1) modifying the trajectory plan to form a modified trajectory plan aligned with the verbal or non-verbal communication indication, or
• 2) transmitting a notification to the occupant prompting the occupant to adjust the verbal or non-verbal communication indication.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for resolving inconsistent communication from an occupant of an autonomously operated vehicle, including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• obtain a trajectory plan for the vehicle;
• detect, using one or more internal sensors, body language of the occupant the vehicle;
• analyze sensor data from the one or more internal sensors to determine a verbal or non-verbal communication indication by the occupant;
• and
• detect an inconsistency between the verbal or non-verbal communication indication and the trajectory plan and:
• 1) modify the trajectory plan to form a modified trajectory plan aligned with the verbal or non-verbal communication indication, or
• 2) transmit a notification to the occupant prompting the occupant to adjust the verbal or non-verbal communication indication.
