1. An apparatus for prediction of time available for autonomous driving, in a vehicle having autonomous driving capabilities, the vehicle comprising at least one remote sensor configured to acquire vehicle surrounding information, and at least one vehicle dynamics sensor configured to determine vehicle dynamics parameters, the apparatus comprising:

  • at least one of a positioning arrangement configured to provide map data with associated speed limit and road infrastructure information, a route planning arrangement, and an arrangement for acquiring real time information including at least one of real time traffic information and real time weather information;

    a processor configured to calculate a time available for autonomous driving based on a planned route and at least one of vehicle surrounding information, vehicle dynamics parameters, map data with associated speed limit and infrastructure information, real time traffic information and real time weather information, associated with the planned route; and

    a human machine interface configured to output to a vehicle passenger compartment the calculated time available for autonomous driving along the planned route.
