In-vehicle message overlay control based on driver demand and message impact

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• determine a functional state of a vehicle;
• determine an environmental state of an environment in which the vehicle is located;
• determine an operator state of an operator of the vehicle;
• generate a demand score based on the functional state, the environmental state, and the operator state, wherein the demand score represents an estimated extent of demand placed on the operator of the vehicle;
• and
• control an overlay visualization scheme based on the demand score, wherein the overlay visualization scheme defines parameters for a presentation of an overlay message on a display of the vehicle.

A method for controlling overlay messages on a display of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• determining a functional state of the vehicle;
• determining an environmental state of an environment in which the vehicle is located;
• determining an operator state of an operator of the vehicle;
• generating a demand score based on the functional state, the environmental state, and the operator state, wherein the demand score represents an estimated extent of demand placed on the operator of the vehicle;
• and
• controlling an overlay visualization scheme based on the demand score, wherein the overlay visualization scheme defines parameters for a presentation of an overlay message on the display of the vehicle.
