Team-Oriented Human-Vehicle Interface For Adaptive Cruise Control System And Methods For Using Same

摘要

A team-oriented adaptive cruise control system, for use in support of operations of a vehicle. The system includes instructions that cause a processor to perform operations including communicating, to a human user, via a vehicle-user interface, a request to participate regularly, actively, and collaboratively as a member of a collaborative adaptive-cruise-control (ACC) team, to include the system, in an ongoing team relationship of cooperation regarding operating the team-oriented ACC system over time. The operations further include providing, to the user, a commitment communication advising the user that the system will be dedicated to participating regularly, actively, and collaboratively as a team member. The operations also include receiving, from the user, an agreement communication to participate as a member of the collaborative ACC team. And the operations include forming, responsive to receiving the agreement communication, the collaborative ACC team including the user and team-oriented ACC system.
