Driver controlling system for a vehicle

A vehicle comprising a driver controlling system, the driver controlling system comprising:

• a propulsive actuator unit,
• a propulsive sensor unit, and
• a control unit,
• the control unit being configured to prompt the propulsive actuator unit to apply at least one driving parameter in an automated driving mode of the vehicle,
• the at least one driving parameter being based on a driving preference of a driver,
• the control unit being further configured to modify the at least one driving parameter of the automated driving mode by a defined rate of deviation for causing a reaction of the driver, and
• the propulsive sensor unit being configured to generate driver engagement data based on the reaction of the driver to the at least one modified driving parameter.

A driver monitoring method, comprising:

• applying at least one driving parameter in an automated driving mode of the vehicle,
• modifying the at least one driving parameter of the automated driving mode by a defined rate of deviation for causing a reaction of a driver, and
• generating driver engagement data based on the reaction of the driver to the at least one modified driving parameter,
• the at least one driving parameter being based on a driving preference of the driver.

A computer program element, for a driver controlling system which, when being executed by a processing element, being adapted to perform steps comprising:

• applying at least one driving parameter in an automated driving mode of the vehicle,
• modifying the at least one driving parameter of the automated driving mode by a defined rate of deviation for causing a reaction of a driver, and
• generating driver engagement data based on the reaction of the driver to the at least one modified driving parameter,
• the at least one driving parameter being based on a driving preference of the driver, and wherein the driver controlling system comprises:
• a propulsive actuator unit,
• a propulsive sensor unit, and
• a control unit,
• the control unit being configured to prompt the propulsive actuator unit to apply at least one driving parameter in an automated driving mode of the vehicle,
• the at least one driving parameter being based on a driving preference of a driver,
• the control unit being further configured to modify the at least one driving parameter of the automated driving mode by a defined rate of deviation for causing a reaction of the driver, and
• the propulsive sensor unit being configured to generate driver engagement data based on the reaction of the driver to the at least one modified driving parameter.
