Abstract:
An automated driving system includes perception, intervention, and vehicle control modules. The perception module detects an upcoming situation to be experienced by a vehicle. The intervention module: determines that a low confidence level exists for a driving decision to be made for the upcoming situation; enables intervention of an autonomous driving mode and indicate information pertaining to the upcoming situation to a driver of the vehicle via an interface; based on the upcoming situation, requests assistance from the driver by (i) indicating available options for the situation via the interface, or (ii) requesting information from the driver to aid in making the driving decision; and determine whether an input has been received from the driver via the interface indicating (i) a selected one of the available options, or (ii) the requested information. The vehicle control module autonomously drives the vehicle based on whether the input has been received.
