  • Patent number: 9653001
    Abstract: Automotive vehicle driving aid includes a computer program with a training module having instructions for providing audio/visual feedback during training route (TR) execution, and dynamically adjusting the TR to enable practice of a maneuver and avoidance of another maneuver. The program includes a driver aid module, practice module and/or test module. Driver aid module includes instructions for providing feedback during driver aid route (DAR) execution, dynamically adjusting the DAR to enable practice of a maneuver and avoidance of another maneuver, and providing a notification upon recognizing an object outside a vehicle during DAR execution. Practice module includes instructions for receiving a learning preference input and generating a practice route including the learning preference. Test module includes instructions for disabling feedback systems, assessing a driving maneuver during a test route (TR), and upon completion of TR, providing a driving report.

  • Publication number: 20160084661
    Abstract: A system and method that act as a performance driving tool and provide feedback to a driver, such as real-time visual feedback delivered via an augmented reality device. According to one embodiment, the performance driving system gathers pertinent vehicle information and driver information (e.g., the direction of the driver's gaze as determined by a wearable head-mounted-display (HMD)) and uses these inputs to generate real-time visual feedback in the form of virtual driving lines and other driving recommendations. These driving recommendations can be presented to the driver via an augmented reality device, such as a heads-up-display (HUD), where the virtual driving lines are projected onto the vehicle windshield so that they are superimposed on top of the actual road surface seen by the driver and can show the driver a suggested line or path to take. Other driving recommendations, like braking, acceleration, steering and shifting suggestions, can also be made.
