Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for providing in-vehicle predicted context-based proactive driving training using an autonomous vehicle. A knowledge corpus is established from a driver's previous driving experience. A potential driving context (or scenario) is identified for a forthcoming driving route. An experience gap analysis is performed between the driver's experience and the potential driving context. If an experience gap exists, an in-vehicle mixed reality driving training simulation is provided in a selected location by the autonomous vehicle. The driver's responses to the training simulation can optionally be monitored and a determination can made based on the driver responses as to the suitability of the driver to safely address the potential driving context.
