Patent attributes
An adaptive trust calibration based autonomous vehicle may include vehicle systems, a system behavior controller, and a driving automation controller. The system behavior controller may generate a driving automation signal indicative of a desired autonomous driving adaptation. The driving automation controller may control the vehicle systems based on parameters including a desired velocity, current velocity of the autonomous vehicle, desired minimum gap distance between the autonomous vehicle and a detected object, current gap distance gap between the autonomous vehicle and a detected object, relative velocity of the detected object with respect to the autonomous vehicle, desired time headway, desired maximum acceleration, desired braking deceleration, and an exponent. The driving automation controller may receive the driving automation signal and implement the desired autonomous driving adaptation via the vehicle systems by adjusting the parameters based on a type of object associated with the detected object.
