Abstract

A method is introduced to personalize a self-driving motor vehicle, which promises to provide an experience as if the self-driving motor vehicle is driven by the mind of a passenger the first time it operates on a freeway.

Claims (21)

1. A method for self-driving motor vehicle operation, comprising the steps of:

obtaining driving preferences of a person, wherein the driving preferences comprise a first data set of one or more scenarios and data of vehicle control elected by the person in the one or more scenarios, or data of one or more of driving styles, moral and ethics traits of the person;

executing control in driving a self-driving motor vehicle referencing the driving preferences; the executing control in driving the self-driving motor vehicle referencing the driving preferences causing wherein the self-driving motor vehicle meeting a qualification for obtaining a driving license or service permit to provide practical non-testing driving service on public roadway.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the person comprises a user of the self-driving motor vehicle.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the first data set comprising the steps of:

presenting from a training collection of data to the person data of the one or more scenarios and the data of vehicle control in each of the one or more scenarios;

obtaining election by the person of the data of vehicle control in the each of the one or more scenarios.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the executing control in driving the self-driving motor vehicle comprising the steps of:

finding a match between a current scenario and one scenario of the one or more scenarios in the first data set;

executing control in the current scenario according to data of vehicle control in the one scenario of the one or more scenarios in the first data set if the match is found.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the person assumes partial or full responsibility for consequence of the executing the control if the person is a passenger riding the self-driving motor vehicle.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the executing the control in driving the self-driving motor vehicle further comprising the steps of:

generating one or more operation behaviors, estimating probability for the person to choose each of the operation behaviors referencing the driving preferences and electing an operation behavior having a largest probability to execute the control.

7. A self-driving motor vehicle comprising: the self-driving motor vehicle is configured to obtain driving preferences of a person, wherein the driving preferences comprise a first data set of one or more scenarios and data of vehicle control elected by the person in the one or more scenarios, or data of one or more of driving styles, moral and ethics traits of the person, and the self-driving motor vehicle is further configured to execute control in driving referencing the driving preferences; the executing control in driving the self-driving motor vehicle referencing the driving preferences causes the self-driving motor vehicle meeting a qualification for obtaining a driving license or service permit to provide practical non-testing driving service on public roadway.

8. The self-driving motor vehicle of claim 7 , wherein the person comprises a user of the self-driving motor vehicle.

9. The self-driving motor vehicle of claim 7 , wherein the self-driving motor vehicle is configured to:

find a match between a current scenario and one scenario of the one or more scenarios in the first data set, and execute control in the current scenario according to data of vehicle control in the one scenario of the one or more scenarios in the first data set if the match is found.

10. The self-driving motor vehicle of claim 9 , wherein the person assumes partial or full responsibilities for consequences for the self-driving motor vehicle to execute the control if the person is a passenger riding the self-driving motor vehicle.

11. The self-driving motor vehicle of claim 7 , wherein the self-driving motor vehicle or an apparatus is configured to:

present from a training collection of data to the person data of the one or more scenarios and the data of vehicle control in each of the one or more scenarios, and obtain election by the person of the data of vehicle control in the each of the one or more scenarios.

12. The self-driving motor vehicle of claim 7 , wherein the self-driving motor vehicle is configured to generate one or more operation behaviors; estimate probability for the person to choose each of the operation behaviors referencing the driving preferences and elect an operation behavior having a largest probability to execute the control.
