Automotive vehicle and method for advising a driver therein
First Claim
1. An automotive vehicle including accelerator and brake pedals, the vehicle comprising:
- a navigation system;
a speed sensor;
an audio, visual or haptic output system; and
at least one controller configured (i) to determine if a current speed of the vehicle exceeds a target speed of an upcoming road curvature based on information from the speed sensor and navigation system, (ii) to generate a first alert based on a selected driver type for the output system indicating that the accelerator pedal should be disengaged if the current speed of the vehicle exceeds the target speed of the upcoming road curvature, and (iii) to generate a second alert after the first alert based on the selected driver type for the output system indicating that the brake pedal should be engaged.

Abstract
An automotive vehicle may include a navigation system, a speed sensor, an audio, visual or haptic output system, and at least one controller. The controller may be configured to determine if a current speed of the vehicle exceeds a target speed of an upcoming road curvature based on information from the speed sensor and navigation system, to generate a first alert based on a selected driver type via the output system to prompt the driver to disengage the vehicle'"'"'s accelerator pedal if the current speed of the vehicle exceeds the target speed of the upcoming road curvature, and to generate a second alert after the first alert based on the selected driver type via the output system to prompt the driver to engage the vehicle'"'"'s brake pedal.
