Method and system for improving ride quality in an autonomous vehicle
First Claim
1. A vehicle control system configured for autonomous control of at least one actuatable vehicle system or component, the control system comprising:
- one or more sensors disposed on a vehicle;
a computing device in communication with the one or more sensors, the computing device including one or more processors for controlling operation of the computing device, anda memory for storing data and program instructions usable by the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to;
acquire feedback relating to a ride quality feature from a vehicle occupant;
identify vehicle control parameters affecting the ride quality feature;
identify at least one autonomously controlled vehicle system or component affecting values of the identified vehicle control parameters;
determine revisions to the vehicle control parameters necessary to implement the feedback relating to the ride quality feature; and
control operation of the at least one autonomously controlled system or component so as to effect the control parameter revisions needed to implement the feedback.

Abstract
A vehicle control system is configured for autonomous control of at least one actuatable vehicle system or component. The control system includes one or more sensors disposed on a vehicle, and a computing device in communication with the one or more sensors. The computing device is configured to acquire feedback relating to a ride quality feature from a vehicle occupant, identify vehicle control parameters affecting the ride quality feature; identify at least one autonomously controlled vehicle system affecting values of the identified vehicle control parameters; determine revisions to the vehicle control parameters necessary to implement the feedback relating to the ride quality feature; perform control parameter revisions necessary to implement the feedback relating to the ride quality feature, and control operation of the at least one autonomously controlled system or component so as to effect the control parameter revisions needed to implement the feedback.
