Abstract: Techniques for providing and utilizing supplemental information obtained from Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) enabled entities to enhance navigation and routing based on opportunities to implement Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) functions are discussed. An example method for generating routing information for a vehicle includes determining a desired destination, obtaining operational design domain information based at least in part on a geographic area including a present location and the desired destination, determining collaboration information for one or more driving assistance functions based on the operational design domain information, the collaboration information including indications of physical actions performed by vehicle operators when the one or more driving assistance functions are activated, and generating routing information based at least in part on the collaboration information.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a server to recommend break/stop locations (or filter out unrecommended break/stop locations) for occupant(s) of a vehicle (e.g., the driver and his/her passenger(s)) based on where people with similar occupants in their vehicles are taking breaks. In one aspect, a server receives, from a user equipment (UE), first information related to a set of occupants in a vehicle and at least one feature for at least one occupant in the set of occupants. The server calculates, based on the first information, a probability that a route for the vehicle includes a set of target locations. The server selects at least one target location based on the first information. The server transmits, to the UE, an indication of the selected at least one target location.

Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and vehicle processing systems for dynamically adjusting information presented to a driver, may include recognizing when a driver assumes control of a vehicle from an autonomous driving system (ADS) and then performs a driving maneuver within a threshold time that differs from the first driving maneuver by less than a threshold difference. In response, the vehicle processing system may generate an informational cue stored in order to be presented to the driver before the ADS performs another driving maneuver that is consistent with the driving maneuver in which the driver took over control. When such informational cues are presented, the driver's reaction may be monitored and the presented information cue may be adjusted responsive to the driver's reactions.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein may enable a UE (e.g., a vehicle, an autonomous vehicle, an on-board unit (OBU) of a vehicle, an advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) of a vehicle) to calculate and output safety margins for objects around the UE or a vehicle. In one aspect, a UE receives or transmits a request to provide safety margin visualization assistance. The UE obtains, in response to the request, an indication of a safety margin associated with an object based on a distance between the UE and the object and at least one of: a size of the object, a speed of the object, a location of the object, a type of the object, a direction of the object, or a movement pattern of the object. The UE outputs the safety margin associated with the object.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for vehicle feature assumption evaluation. In an aspect, an assumption associated a vehicle feature defines (i) at least one response by an attentive driver to at least one in-vehicle human-machine communications interface stimulus, (ii) timing information associated with at least one in-vehicle driver action, or (iii) a combination thereof. Behavior of attentive driver(s) is monitored, and used to calculate a confidence level associated with the assumption being valid based on the monitoring.

Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and systems for managing driver engagement may include evaluating a driving risk on a roadway proximate to the vehicle using historical roadway data, identifying an emotive expression of the driver using vehicle sensor data, obtaining historical data about driver reaction times for assuming full control of other vehicles and whether assuming full control of the other vehicles avoided an accident on the roadway, selecting a minimum level of driver engagement suitable for the roadway proximate to the vehicle based on the evaluated driving risk, the identified emotive expression of the driver, and whether historical driver fallback behavior avoided an accident on the roadway proximate to the vehicle, observing a driver behavior using one or more vehicle sensors, and taking an action in response to determining that the driver behavior does not meet the minimum level of driver engagement suitable for the roadway proximate to the vehicle.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods that may include receiving situational information triggering a need to alert the driver and in response to the need to alert the driver presenting an alert to the driver based on driver state information selected based on a likelihood the driver will be more receptive to the alert modality than others of the plurality of alert modalities. The likelihood the driver will be receptive to the alert modality may be based on the received situational information, the received driver state information, and a historical behaviour record. The historical behaviour record may correlate the driver's reaction or the reaction of other drivers to previous alerts presented to the driver or other drivers with similar driver state information and similar situational information triggering presentation of previous alerts. The system may learn from the reaction of the driver and/or other drivers to better select suitable alert modalities.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises an interface and a control circuit. The interface may be configured to receive a plurality of sensor signals from a vehicle platform of a vehicle and present one or more control signals to the vehicle platform. The control circuit may be configured to (i) detect whether an attention state of a driver is in an attentive state or an inattentive state in response to one or more of the plurality of sensor signals from the vehicle platform during a first window having a first duration, (ii) assess whether the driver is sufficiently attentive by monitoring the one or more of the plurality of sensor signals from the vehicle platform and determining whether changes in the attention state of the driver during a second window having a second duration that is longer than the first duration exceeds a threshold, and (iii) when the threshold is exceeded, transition operation of the vehicle to the driver and safely discontinue an automation system function of the vehicle.
