Method and system for customizing self-driving motor vehicle
Methods are introduced for customizing and legalizing a self-driving motor vehicle by personalizing and/or disciplining before and during a self-driving motor vehicle is practically used, with human knowledge, preferences and experiences, to provide a more personal service and overcome some hurdles in legalization of self-driving motor vehicles, serving as a bridge in the transition from a human driving world to a personized autonomous freeway.
1. A method of self-driving motor vehicle operation, comprising a self-driving motor vehicle performing the steps of: acquiring a first data set of a rider of data of a plurality of scenarios and data of an operation behavior preferred by the rider in each of the plurality of scenarios based on a training collection of data of a plurality of scenarios and a collection of data of one or more operation behaviors in each of the scenarios or receiving the first data set of the user acquired based on the training collection of data;
finding a match between a current driving scenario of the self-driving motor vehicle and a scenario in the first data set and executing an operation in the current driving scenario according to an operation behavior in the scenario in the first data set if the match is found
acquiring a user profile data set of the rider; and executing an operation by referencing data in the user profile data set if the match is not found.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the acquiring the first data set of the rider comprises the steps of: identifying the rider; presenting to the rider the plurality of scenarios in the training collection of data and the one or more operation behaviors of the self-driving vehicle in the plurality of scenarios in the training collection of data; informing the rider of responsibilities for consequences of each of the operation behaviors in the plurality of scenarios in the training collection of data; obtaining a choice from the rider of one of the operation behaviors in each of the plurality of scenarios of the training collection data to form a scenario-user-choice pair of the respective scenario and the respective rider preferred operation behavior; storing the scenario-user-choice pair in the first data set; or receiving previously acquired scenario-user-choice pairs into the first data set.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: using the training collection of data as a qualification for the self-driving motor vehicle to obtain a driving license or service permit to carry one or more passengers.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the executing an operation in the current driving scenario according to an operation behavior in the scenario in the first data set comprises the rider assuming partial or full responsibilities for consequences of the operation if the rider is a passenger on the self-driving motor vehicle at the time of the executing.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising updating the first data set during operation of the self-driving motor vehicle in the steps of:
executing a guidance or command by the rider communicated to the self-driving motor vehicle through a user interface in a scenario in an operation of the self-driving motor vehicle;
conducting an evaluation of a performance of the operation, and if the performance is satisfactory resulting in no accidents:
generating data of a scenario-user-choice pair based on the scenario and the guidance or command and inserting the data of the scenario-user-choice pair into the first data set with explicit consent from the rider; or
recording and analyzing data of a scenario and data of an operation in the scenario comprising a rider physically operating a self-driving motor vehicle;
conducting an evaluation of a performance of the operation, and if the performance is satisfactory resulting in no accidents:
generating data of a scenario-user-choice pair based on the data of scenario and data of the operating and inserting the data of the scenario-user-choice pair into the first data set with explicit consent from the rider.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: using the first data set as a qualification for the self-driving motor vehicle to obtain a driving license or service permit to carry one or more passengers.
