SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING AND/OR PREVENTING AUTOMATION EXPECTATION MISMATCH IN VEHICLE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of evaluating a current risk of mismatch between actual driving automation capabilities of a vehicle (1) and driving automation capabilities of the vehicle (1) expected by a driver (7). The method comprises monitoring at least one physical property of the driver (7) indicative of a gaze direction;determining (302, 902) a first visual attention metric value (A1, A2) indicative of a level of visual attention to the road (3, 5) ahead;comparing (303, 903) the first visual attention metric value (A1, A2) to a first threshold value (Ath1, Ath2);and providing (304, 904), when the comparison indicates that the current level of visual attention to the road (3, 5) is lower than the first threshold level, a signal indicative of an elevated risk of expectation mismatch.
