Simultaneous localization and mapping based vehicle navigation systems enhanced by driver interactions

A system for simultaneous localization and mapping-based navigation in a vehicle, comprising:

• a controller;
• a first display connected to the controller;
• a trip monitoring sensor connected to the controller;
• an occupant input device connected to the controller;
• and
• an attention sensor connected to the controller;
• wherein the controller is configured to execute instructions to:
• create a vehicle path plan and a motion control instruction;
• identify a suspected obstacle in a drive path with the trip monitoring sensor, wherein the drive path forms a portion of the vehicle path plan;
• provide an indication on the first display that an intervention by an occupant is requested;
• and
• determine if the occupant is paying attention to the indication on the first display using at least one of the attention sensor and the occupant input device.
