Abstract: In some aspects, a device associated with a vehicle may obtain data relating to driver interaction with the vehicle. The device may estimate one or more driver interaction parameters based on the data relating to the driver interaction with the vehicle. The device may update one or more tuning parameters associated with an automated driving or driver assistance feature based on the one or more driver interaction parameters, resulting in one or more updated tuning parameters. The device may cause the automated driving or driver assistance feature to be applied at the vehicle in accordance with the one or more updated tuning parameters. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for operating a driver-in-the-loop (DIL) component of a vehicle. In an aspect, the DIL component receives a first input signal generated based on a first interaction of a driver with a component of the vehicle operating in an autonomous driving mode, applies an attack-sustain-release (ASR) envelope to an amplitude of the first input signal to generate a first output signal representing at least a ramp-in of driver control over the component from no driver control to full driver control, and wherein the ramp-in of the driver control is limited by application of the ASR envelope to the amplitude of the first input signal, and transmits the first output signal to a controller module for the component of the vehicle to enable the controller module to reduce control over the component of the vehicle based on the ramp-in of the driver control represented by the first output signal.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and techniques for controlling one or more operations of a vehicle. For example, according to some aspects, a process or method may include determining a manual interaction with the vehicle and determining, during the manual interaction with the vehicle, an error between a setpoint value of a parameter and a current value of the parameter. The process or method can include determining, based on the determined error, whether to accumulate values associated with the error for controlling at least one function of the vehicle.

Abstract: Methods for ensuring road tracking up to a predefined lateral acceleration limit in a vehicle having an autonomous steering function arranged to selectively apply a steering wheel overlay torque to a normal steering assistance torque in an electrical power assisted steering system of the vehicle are provided. Such methods include acquiring the predetermined lateral acceleration limit; acquiring a signal representing a current lateral acceleration of the vehicle; comparing the predetermined lateral acceleration limit with the acquired current lateral acceleration signal to obtain a controller error; setting a torque limit for the steering wheel overlay torque; and subjecting the controller error to a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, which is arranged to provide the torque limit for the steering wheel overlay torque after setting the torque limit to the initial value.
