1. A parallel autonomy interface system, comprising:
- one or more sensors coupled to a vehicle capable of autonomous operation;
one or more displays configured to display an avatar; and
processing circuitry communicably coupling the one or more sensors and the one or more displays, the processing circuitry configured toreceive output from the one or more sensors,determine if potential danger with respect to vehicle operation is detected based on the output of the one or more sensors,activate an alert in response to detecting the potential danger, the alert corresponding to a change in a size of the avatar, andenable the avatar to indicate a direction of the potential danger in response to activation of the alert.

Abstract
A parallel autonomy interface system can include processing circuitry communicably coupling one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle and one or more displays of the autonomous vehicle. The processing circuitry can be configured to receive output from the one or more sensors, determine if potential danger with respect to vehicle operation is detected based on the output of the one or more sensors, activate an alert in response to detecting the potential danger, the alert corresponding to avatar motion, and enable the avatar to indicate a direction of the potential danger in response to activation of the alert.

9. A method of operating a parallel autonomy interface, comprising:
-
receiving output from one or more sensors, the one or more sensors communicably coupled to one or more displays; determining, via processing circuitry, if potential danger with respect to vehicle operation is detected based on the output of the one or more sensors; activating an alert in response to detecting the potential danger, the alert corresponding to a change in a size of a displayed avatar; and enabling the avatar to indicate a direction of the potential danger in response to activation of the alert. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
