A tangible, non-transitory machine-readable medium includes machine-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive historical driver data indicative of one or more physiological parameters of one or more drivers during one or more prior driving trips, receive historical position data indicative of a respective position of a respective vehicle driven by the one or more drivers during the one or more prior driving trips, establish a correlation between the historical driver data and the historical position data, and identify one or more low-stress road segments using the correlation between the historical driver data and the historical position data.

A method of determining driver emotions in conjunction with a driving environment includes determining a basic emotion of a driver, acquiring driving environment information, determining the driver emotion based on the driving environment information and the basic emotion, and providing a service of displaying the driver emotion or a driver-emotion-based service.

An information presenting apparatus is used in an autonomous vehicle capable of switching between autonomous driving control and manual driving control. The information presenting apparatus determines a response action for checking that the driver is ready to take over when the autonomous driving control is switched to the manual driving control, performs control for requesting the driver to perform the response action determined, and detects the response action performed by the driver.

According to one embodiment, a moving body operation support system includes an acquirer, a microphone, a transceiver, and a processor. The acquirer acquires moving body information relating to a state of a moving body. The microphone is provided in the moving body. The transceiver performs transmitting to and receiving from an operator communication device. The processor implements one of a first operation or a second operation based on the moving body information and instruction information. The instruction information relates to an instruction based on a sound acquired by the microphone. The instruction is of a user riding in the moving body. In the first operation, the processor causes the moving body to perform an operation corresponding to the instruction information. In the second operation, the processor enables communication between the user and the operator by the transmitting and receiving between the transceiver and the operator communication device.

Methods and systems are provided for processing speech for a vehicle having at least one autonomous vehicle system. In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving, by a processor, context data generated by an autonomous vehicle system; receiving, by a processor, a speech utterance from a user interacting with the vehicle; processing, by a processor, the speech utterance based on the context data; and selectively communicating, by a processor, at least one of a dialog prompt to the user and a control action to the autonomous vehicle system based on the context data.

A vehicle includes a detection system configured to acquire data regarding operation of the vehicle, and a robotic driving device configured to provide robotic control of the vehicle. The vehicle also includes a control system configured to determine whether the robotic driving device is activated, such that the vehicle is in robotic driving mode; receive a request by a prospective operator of the vehicle to deactivate the robotic driving device to initiate a manual driving mode; determine whether the prospective operator is impaired based on the data; and selectively grant or refuse the request based on the determination.

A system and method for autonomous vehicle driving behavior modification include: receiving passenger driving behavior preferences for setting a driving behavior of an autonomous vehicle; generating driving behaviors controls based on the passenger driving behavior preferences; setting an initial driving behavior of the autonomous vehicle using the driving behavior controls, wherein setting the initial driving behavior comprises providing the driving behavior controls to be implemented by the autonomous vehicle during one or more routes involving the passenger; aggregating vehicle behavior feedback relating to a driving behavior of the autonomous vehicle during the one or more routes; and modifying the driving behavior of the autonomous vehicle based on the vehicle behavior feedback.

An interaction method for an intelligent cockpit is provided. It relates to the technical field of artificial intelligence, and in particular to intelligent interaction. An implementation is: acquiring multimodal information associated with the intelligent cockpit according to an interaction instruction of a user; preprocessing the multimodal information; determining, by using a pre-trained multimodal information alignment model, whether the preprocessed multimodal information is aligned with the interaction instruction; and determining a response strategy for the interaction instruction based on a result of the determination and the preprocessed multimodal information.

A method for operating a driver assistance system of an electrically driven motor vehicle includes providing a first and a second driving mode and setting the first driving mode or the second driving mode via an actuating device by a single user input. A first turning maneuver of the motor vehicle is set as the first driving mode and a second turning maneuver of the motor vehicle is set as the second driving mode. During the first turning maneuver, a direction of movement for each of the four wheels of the motor vehicle is respectively set via four control signals such that right side wheels of the motor vehicle and left side wheels of the motor vehicle rotate against each other. Via the driver assistance system, the motor vehicle is operated at least partially autonomously at least during the first driving mode and/or the second driving mode.
