Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for guidance, control, and testing of autonomous vehicle features and a driver's response thereto. The system may activate a plurality of autonomous driving features of an autonomous vehicle. In response to a determination to initiate a driving test, the system may generate an indication to a driver of the autonomous vehicle of the initiation of the driving test and may deactivate or adjust parameters of one or more of the plurality of autonomous driving features. The system may receive, from one or more sensors of the autonomous vehicle or one or more sensors of a mobile computing device within the autonomous vehicle, driving data associated with the autonomous vehicle. Based on the driving data associated with the autonomous vehicle, the system may determine the driver's response time and actions taken by the driver during the driving test. Moreover, in response to a determination to end the driving test, the system may reactivate the one or more of the plurality of autonomous driving features previously deactivated or may readjust previously adjusted parameters. In some aspects, based on the driver's response time and actions taken by the driver during the driving test, a drive score may be generated for the driver.
