STEERING WHEEL DEVICE FOR INDICATING REQUIRED SUPERVISORY CONTROL OF A VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR USE

摘要

A method and system may manage the driver's attention while driving. The driver may be driving using an autonomous driving system or limited-ability autonomous driving system. A steering wheel device may indicate to the driver a level of required supervisory control of a vehicle. The steering wheel device may include indicators to flash lights, vibrate, or provide other indicators. The indicators may have distinct levels of intensity for each level of supervisory control required to safely control a vehicle.
