First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle comprising:
- a haptic interface; and
a controller configured toactivate the haptic interface responsive to a distance between the vehicle and another vehicle being less than a threshold distance initially set according to a learned driver behavior that is based on how a driver is driving the vehicle, anddecrease the threshold distance to not less than a predefined minimum responsive to the distance not increasing following activation of the haptic interface.

10. A method for advising a driver of a vehicle comprising:
by a processor, responsive to a gap time between the vehicle and another vehicle being less than a threshold time initially set according to a learned driver behavior that is based on how the driver is driving the vehicle, activating a haptic interface; and responsive to the gap time not increasing following activation of the haptic interface, decreasing the threshold time to a predefined minimum. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
