1. A method for controlling a vehicle having a driver assistance feature, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a controller, a learn condition for a driver-specific profile for the driver assistance feature, the learn condition including (i) operation of the vehicle, (ii) disablement of the driver assistance feature, and (iii) a detected object in a path of the vehicle;
in response to detecting the learn condition, receiving, at the controller, measured parameters associated with the vehicle and the driver assistance feature;
based on the measured parameters, generating, by the controller, the driver-specific profile for the driver assistance feature;
detecting, by the controller, enablement of the driver assistance feature; and
in response to detecting the enablement of the driver assistance feature, performing, by the controller, driver assistance of the vehicle using the driver-specific profile.

Abstract
Methods and systems for implementing personalized driver assistance features such as adaptive cruise control, adaptive cruise control with stop and go, and forward collision warning. The methods and systems collect specific vehicle data and then calculate values that populate a histogram representing driver habits and tendencies regarding following and stopping distances in relation to objects ahead of the vehicle. The methods and systems utilize the histogram data to provide the driver with a personalized driver assistance features.

11. A system for a vehicle having a driver assistance feature, the system comprising:
-
one or more sensors configured to measure parameters associated with the vehicle and the driver assistance feature; and a controller configured to; detect a learn condition for a driver-specific profile for the driver assistance feature, the learn condition including (i) operation of the vehicle, (ii) disablement of the driver assistance feature, and (iii) a detected object in a path of the vehicle; in response to detecting the learn condition, receive the measured parameters; based on the measured parameters, generate the driver-specific profile for the driver assistance feature; detect enablement of the driver assistance feature; and in response to detecting the enablement of the driver assistance feature, perform driver assistance of the vehicle using the driver-specific profile. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
