Systems and methods for mode confusion avoidance
System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to mode confusion avoidance. In one embodiment, a method includes selecting a routine path; determining a likelihood of expected autonomous driving assistance based on a location within the routine path; and generating a notification if autonomous driving assistance has not been enabled and the likelihood exceeds a threshold.
1 . A method, comprising:
selecting a routine path that includes usage data of prior autonomous driving assistance along the routine path;
determining a likelihood of expected autonomous driving assistance based on the usage data and a vehicle location within the routine path; and
generating a notification when autonomous driving assistance has not been enabled and the likelihood exceeds a threshold.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the likelihood only occurs when the autonomous driving assistance was disabled by a manual control event.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the likelihood only occurs when a vehicle determines based on control inputs that a resting state has occurred.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the routine path requires uniquely identifying a path routinely taken by a specific vehicle.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the routine path requires uniquely identifying a path routinely taken by a specific vehicle occupant.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the notification further comprises increasing an intensity, a frequency, or a number of repetitions of the notification due to the likelihood exceeding the threshold.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the notification contains information as to the autonomous driving assistance that is not in operation.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the routine path requires uniquely identifying a path routinely taken by a specific vehicle operator.
9 . A system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory communicably coupled to the processor and storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
select a routine path that includes usage data of prior autonomous driving assistance along the routine path;
determine a likelihood of expected autonomous driving assistance based on the usage data and a vehicle location within the routine path; and
generate a notification if autonomous driving assistance has not been enabled and the likelihood exceeds a threshold.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the machine-readable instruction to determine the likelihood only occurs when the autonomous driving assistance was disabled by a manual control event.
11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the machine-readable instruction to determine the likelihood only occurs when a vehicle determines based on control inputs that a resting state has occurred.
12 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the machine-readable instruction to select the routine path requires uniquely identifying a path routinely taken by a specific vehicle.
13 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the machine-readable instruction to select the routine path requires uniquely identifying a path routinely taken by a specific vehicle occupant.
14 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the machine-readable instruction to generate the notification further includes to increase an intensity, a frequency, or a number of repetitions of the notification due to the likelihood exceeding the threshold.
15 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the notification contains information as to the autonomous driving assistance that is not in operation.
16 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
select a routine path that includes usage data of prior autonomous driving assistance along the routine path;
determine a likelihood of expected autonomous driving assistance based on the usage data and a vehicle location within the routine path; and
generate a notification if when autonomous driving assistance has not been enabled and the likelihood exceeds a threshold.
17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the instruction to determine the likelihood only occurs when the autonomous driving assistance was disabled by a manual control event.
18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the instruction to determine the likelihood only occurs when a vehicle determines based on control inputs that a resting state has occurred.
19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the instruction to select the routine path requires uniquely identifying a path routinely taken by a specific vehicle.
20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the instruction to select the routine path requires uniquely identifying a path routinely taken by a specific vehicle occupant.
