Abstract
Methods for personalized driving of autonomously driven vehicles include: (a) downloading at least a portion of a driving profile to a vehicle, wherein the vehicle is configured for autonomous driving and wherein the driving profile is associated with a specific driver; and (b) executing one or a plurality of operating instructions prescribed by the driving profile, such that the vehicle is operable in a driving style imitative of the specific driver. Apparatuses for personalized driving of autonomously driven vehicles are described.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining a portion of a driving profile associated with one variation of driving manner of a specific driver based on a spatial or temporal environmental property around a vehicle, wherein the driving profile contains a plurality of variations of driving manners of the specific driver;
- downloading, by a processor, the portion of the driving profile from a cloud server to the vehicle, wherein the vehicle is configured for autonomous driving, wherein downloading the portion of the driving profile downloads less than an entirety of the driving profile;
- and
- executing, by the processor, one or a plurality of operating instructions prescribed by the portion of the driving profile, such that the vehicle is operable in a driving style imitative of the specific driver.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- determine a portion of a driving profile associated with a specific driver and a vehicle type, wherein the determined portion of the driving profile is associated with a manner of driving of the specific driver based on the type of vehicle;
- download, from a remote server, the determined portion of the driving profile to a vehicle, wherein the vehicle is configured for autonomous driving and a type of the vehicle matches the vehicle type of the determined portion of the driving profile, wherein downloading the determined portion of the driving profile downloads less than an entirety of the driving profile;
- and
- execute one or a plurality of operating instructions prescribed by the determined portion of the driving profile, such that the vehicle is operable in a driving style imitative of the specific driver for the vehicle type.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein data representing instructions executable by a programmed processor, the storage medium comprising instructions for:
- determining a portion of a driving profile associated with a specific driver, an environmental condition and a vehicle type, wherein the determined portion of the driving profile is associated with a manner of driving of the specific driver based on the type of vehicle and the environmental condition;
- downloading the portion of a driving profile to the vehicle, wherein the vehicle is configured for autonomous driving and a type of the vehicle matches the vehicle type of the portion of the driving profile;
- and
- executing one or a plurality of operating instructions prescribed by the driving profile, such that the vehicle is operable in a driving style imitative of the specific driver for the vehicle type and the environmental condition.
