  • Patent number: 10518786
    Abstract: A method for providing operation data onboard a first vehicle with autonomous capabilities. The method presents an image of an exterior view from the first vehicle with autonomous capabilities, by a user interface touchscreen communicatively coupled to a processor and system memory element; receives user input data to manipulate the image, via the user interface touchscreen; adjusts the image, by the processor, based on the user input data; modifies an operation parameter of the first vehicle with autonomous capabilities, by the processor, based on the user input data, to generate a modified operation parameter, wherein the operation parameter comprises at least one of a following distance, a stopping distance, or a turning speed; and transmits the modified operation parameter, via a communication device communicatively coupled to the processor.
