Abstract
System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to improving driver warnings for automated driving by a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes monitoring a vehicle control system for driver feedback during the automated driving. The method also includes adapting a points value at a defined rate according to whether the driver feedback is present. The method also includes, responsive to determining that the points value satisfies a threshold before the driver feedback is present, generating a warning to a driver.
Claims20
A warning system for improving driver warnings for automated driving by a vehicle, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory communicably coupled to the one or more processors and storing:
- a monitoring module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
- monitor a vehicle control system for driver feedback during the automated driving;
- and
- an adaptation module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
- adapt a points value at a defined rate according to whether the driver feedback is present;
- and
- generate, responsive to a determination that the points value satisfies a threshold before the driver feedback is present, a warning to a driver.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium for improving driver warnings for automated driving by a vehicle and including instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
- monitor a vehicle control system for driver feedback during the automated driving;
- adapt a points value at a defined rate according to whether the driver feedback is present;
- and
- generate, responsive to a determination that the points value satisfies a threshold before the driver feedback is present, a warning to a driver.
A method for improving driver warnings for automated driving by a vehicle, the method comprising:
- monitoring a vehicle control system for driver feedback during the automated driving;
- adapting a points value at a defined rate according to whether the driver feedback is present;
- and
- responsive to determining that the points value satisfies a threshold before the driver feedback is present, generating a warning to a driver.
