Abstract: Technical solutions are described herein for providing driver notification in a vehicle. An example system includes one or more sensors that measure one or more attributes of a remote object in a predetermined vicinity of the vehicle. The system further includes an output device that provides a notification to a driver. The system further includes a remote object monitoring system that generates a driver notification to be provided via the output device based on the attributes of the remote object. Generating the driver notification includes determining a recklessness score for the remote object based on the attributes of the remote object. Generating the driver notification further includes, in response to the recklessness score exceeding a predetermined threshold, generating the driver notification that comprises a directional information that provides a spatial awareness of a location of the remote object in relation to the vehicle.

Abstract: Technical solutions are described for providing a driver performance feedback to a driver of a vehicle. An example method includes receiving, by a controller, a first maneuver control from an automated driving system of the vehicle. The method further includes receiving, by the controller, a second maneuver control from the driver. The method further includes, in response to the first maneuver control being different from the second maneuver control, generating a driver notification that is indicative of the first maneuver control from the automated driving system, and operating the vehicle using the second maneuver control.

Abstract: Technical solutions are described herein for adjusting a notification system of a vehicle. An example method includes receiving, by a controller, an occupant profile of an occupant of the vehicle. The method further includes adjusting, by the controller, a haptic array according to the occupant profile, the haptic array comprising a plurality of haptic actuators, the adjusting comprising activating a first subset of the haptic actuators and deactivating a second subset of the haptic actuators. Further, the method includes providing, by the haptic array, a notification to the occupant of the vehicle by providing a haptic feedback using the activated haptic actuators.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for cleaning a sensor lens cover for an optical vehicle sensor. The method includes monitoring the sensor lens cover for a contaminant obstructing at least a portion of the sensor lens cover and determining the presence of the commandant and a contaminant type using information provided by one or more vehicle sensors. A cleaning modality selected based the contaminant type is activated and it is determined whether the cleaning modality has removed the contaminant from the sensor lens cover.
