COGNITIVE DRIVER ASSIST WITH VARIABLE ASSISTANCE FOR AUTOMATED VEHICLES

摘要

A cognitive-driver-assist system (10) includes an object-detection device (18), an operator-detection device (22), a control-override device (30), and a controller (20). The object-detection device (18) is operable to detect when an object (16) is proximate to a host-vehicle (14). The operator-detection device (22) is operable to determine when an operator (12) of the host-vehicle (14) is aware of the object (16). The control-override device (30) is operable to limit operator-authority (32) of the operator (12) while the operator (12) is driving the host-vehicle (14). The controller (20) is configured to operate the control-override device (30) in accordance with the operator-authority (32) to override the operator (12) and avoid interference with the object (16) when the operator (12) is not aware of the object (16).
