1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- identifying, with a processing device, a driver of a human-controlled vehicle based on behavior patterns of the driver measured by one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle, wherein the human-controlled vehicle is not an autonomous vehicle, and wherein the driver identification comprises;
interrogating the human-controlled vehicle for the driver identification data;
receiving the driver identification data in response,analyzing registration information of the human-controlled vehicle, andidentifying the driver using a pattern matching algorithm;
generating a model of the driver of the human-controlled vehicle by the autonomous vehicle based on the behavior patterns of the driver;
retrieving previously stored behavior patterns of the driver to augment the model of the driver; and
transmitting the model of the driver of the human-controlled vehicle by the autonomous vehicle to other nearby autonomous vehicles.

Abstract
Automatic driver modeling is used to integrate human-controlled vehicles into an autonomous vehicle network. A driver of a human-controlled vehicle is identified based on behavior patterns of the driver measured by one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle. A model of the driver is generated based on the behavior patterns of the driver measured by the one or more sensors of the autonomous vehicle. Previously stored behavior patterns of the driver are then retrieved from a database to augment the model of the driver. The model of the driver is then transmitted from the autonomous vehicle to nearby vehicles with autonomous interfaces.
