Abstract:
A system for controlling notifications in a vehicle includes an output device, a sensor to detect at least one of a vehicle condition or an environment of the vehicle, and a memory to store a notification center including notifications to be output by the output device. The system further includes an ECU to determine a new notification to be added to the notification center based on the sensor data and to add the new notification to the notification center. The ECU is further designed to determine a priority of each of the notifications in the notification center and to control the output device to output a highest priority notification from the notification center. The ECU is further designed to identify an obsolete notification to be removed from the notification center based on the sensor data. The ECU is further designed to remove the obsolete notification from the notification center.
