Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for vehicle feature assumption evaluation. In an aspect, an assumption associated a vehicle feature defines (i) at least one response by an attentive driver to at least one in-vehicle human-machine communications interface stimulus, (ii) timing information associated with at least one in-vehicle driver action, or (iii) a combination thereof. Behavior of attentive driver(s) is monitored, and used to calculate a confidence level associated with the assumption being valid based on the monitoring.
Claims30
A method of operating a device, comprising:
- receiving an assumption associated a vehicle feature that defines (i) at least one response by an attentive driver to at least one in-vehicle human-machine communications interface stimulus, (ii) timing information associated with at least one in-vehicle driver action, or (iii) a combination thereof;
- monitoring behavior of one or more attentive drivers;
- calculating a confidence level associated with the assumption being valid based on the monitoring;
- and
- performing one or more actions based on the confidence level.
A method of operating a network component, comprising:
- transmitting an assumption associated with a vehicle feature that defines (i) at least one response by an attentive driver to at least one in-vehicle human-machine communications interface stimulus, (ii) timing information associated with at least one in-vehicle driver action, or (iii) a combination thereof;
- and
- receiving, in response to the transmission, a confidence level associated with the assumption being valid that is based upon behavior monitoring of one or more attentive drivers.
A device, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more processors, either alone or in combination, configured to:
- receive an assumption associated a vehicle feature that defines (i) at least one response by an attentive driver to at least one in-vehicle human-machine communications interface stimulus, (ii) timing information associated with at least one in-vehicle driver action, or (iii) a combination thereof;
- monitoring behavior of one or more attentive drivers;
- calculate a confidence level associated with the assumption being valid based on the monitoring;
- and
- perform one or more actions based on the confidence level.
