First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising a computer in a vehicle, the computer comprising a processor and a memory, wherein the computer is configured to:
- collect data relating to autonomous operation of the vehicle;
generate a scalar value confidence assessment concerning whether the vehicle should operate autonomously;
generate a vector of subsystem confidence assessment values, each of the subsystem confidence assessment values relating to one of a plurality of specific vehicle operations that include one or more of vehicle speed, braking, acceleration, steering, lane detection, collision detection, and navigation;
determine that the scalar value confidence assessment falls below a predetermined threshold; and
provide a message to a vehicle operator based on at least one of the subsystem confidence assessment values.

Abstract
Data may be collected relating to autonomous operation of a vehicle. A first confidence assessment concerning whether the vehicle should operate autonomously may then be generated, and it may be determined whether the first confidence assessment meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold. An alert may be provided via a user interface in the vehicle relating to ending autonomous operation of the vehicle if the first confidence assessment meets or exceeds the predetermined threshold.
