1. A method for providing steering-control feedback to an operator of an automotive vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving first attribute information identifying a first attribute of a first operator coupling of an operator, of an automotive vehicle, to a steering-control mechanism of the automotive vehicle;
detecting that a specified steering-control criterion is met based on the first attribute;
identifying feedback information, based on the steering-control criterion; and
sending, in response to the detecting, the feedback information to present, via an output device, a feedback indicator to the operator.

Abstract
Methods and systems are described for providing steering-control feedback to an operator of an automotive vehicle. First attribute information is received that identifies a first attribute of a first operator coupling of an operator, of an automotive vehicle, to a steering-control mechanism of the automotive vehicle. A specified steering-control criterion is detected as met based on the first attribute. Feedback information is identified based on the steering-control criterion. In response to the detecting, the feedback information is sent to present, via an output device, a feedback indicator to the operator.
