Patent attributes
An autonomous mode controller of an autonomous vehicle according to various rider-selectable comfort configurations. When the controller identifies a comfort configuration, it will access a configuration data set that corresponds to the selected comfort configuration. The controller also will receive sensor data from one or more autonomous driving sensors. In response to the received sensor data, the controller will generate an instruction for operation of a steering, braking, powertrain or other subsystem for operation of the autonomous vehicle. The instruction while includes values that correspond to the sensed data and to one or more parameters of the configuration data set. The subsystem will then cause the autonomous vehicle to move according to the instruction.
