Vehicle-provided recommendations for use of ADAS systems
Systems and methods are provided for an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) that obtains data from a plurality of sensors. In some embodiments, the system can retrieve data regarding a user's past interactions and analyze the data with the sensor data to determine the user's behavior. In some embodiments, the ADAS can determine whether a user is unaware of an ADAS feature based on this behavior and a prompt that recommends the ADAS feature. The user's response to this prompt may be incorporated into the user's behavior for future recommendations.
1 . A method for effectuating an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) of a vehicle comprising:
retrieving data regarding a user's past interactions with the ADAS, the user's past interaction data comprising information on turn-on operations of the ADAS and turn-off operations of the ADAS;
determining a behavior of the user based on the user's past interaction data; and
adjusting operation of the ADAS in response to the user's determined behavior.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining whether the user is unaware of an existence of an ADAS feature based on the user's determined behavior and recommending the ADAS feature to the user when the user is determined to be unaware.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting the ADAS comprises determining whether an ADAS feature is applicable to a situation and recommending the ADAS feature to the user upon determining that the ADAS feature is applicable.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein recommending the ADAS feature includes providing a prompt to initiate the ADAS feature and initiating the ADAS feature upon receiving a user response accepting the prompt.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein providing the prompt is completed with a LED display and the LED display provides a shortcut to turn on the recommended ADAS feature.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining when the user turned off an ADAS feature; determining whether the ADAS feature was subsequently updated; and notifying the user about updates to the ADAS feature.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising sharing the user's determined behavior with a second user.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user's past interaction data includes previous recommendations on ADAS features that the user ignored.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user's past interaction data includes a number of times an ADAS feature was turned off.
10 . A vehicle, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory unit operatively connected to the processor and including computer code, that when executed, causes the processor to:
retrieve data on a user's past interactions, the user's past interaction data comprising information on turn on operations of an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) and turn off operations of the ADAS;
determine a behavior of the user based on the user's past interaction data;
determine whether the user is unaware of an ADAS feature;
recommend the ADAS feature to the user on a display by presenting, on the display, a prompt to initiate the ADAS feature; and
adjust operation of the ADAS according to the user's response to the prompt.
11 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the prompt is a textual message and further comprises a first actuation mechanism to initiate the ADAS feature and a second actuation mechanism to ignore the prompt.
12 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the memory unit includes computer code, that when executed, further causes the processor to share the user's determined behavior with a second user.
13 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the user's past interaction data includes previous recommendations on ADAS features that the user ignored and wherein the memory unit includes computer code, that when executed, further causes the processor to abstain from recommending the ADAS feature if the user previously ignored a recommendation.
14 . The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the user's past interaction data includes a number of times the ADAS feature was turned off and wherein the memory unit includes computer code, that when executed, further causes the processor to abstain from recommending the ADAS feature if the ADAS feature was turned off one or more times.
15 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a predicted behavior based on the user's past interaction data and adjusting the operation of the ADAS based on the predicted behavior.
16 . A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
retrieve data regarding a user's past interactions with an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS), the user's past interaction data comprising a number of times an ADAS feature was turned off;
determine a behavior of the user based on the data regarding the user's past interaction data; and
adjust operation of the ADAS in response to the user's determined behavior.
17 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
determine whether the user is unaware of an existence of the ADAS feature based on the user's determined behavior; and
recommend the ADAS feature to the user when the user is determined to be unaware.
18 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein adjusting the operation of the ADAS comprises determining whether the ADAS feature is applicable to a situation and recommending the ADAS feature to the user upon determining that the ADAS feature is applicable.
19 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
determine when the user turned off the ADAS feature;
determine whether the ADAS feature was subsequently updated; and
notify the user about updates to the ADAS feature.
20 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the user's past interaction data includes previous recommendations on ADAS features that the user ignored.
