PERFORMING PROACTIVE DRIVING TRAINING USING AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17958624 titled 'PERFORMING PROACTIVE DRIVING TRAINING USING AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

Embodiments of the present invention provide an approach for providing in-vehicle predicted context-based proactive driving training using an autonomous vehicle. A knowledge corpus is established from a driver's previous driving experience. A potential driving context (or scenario) is identified for a forthcoming driving route. An experience gap analysis is performed between the driver's experience and the potential driving context. If an experience gap exists, an in-vehicle mixed reality driving training simulation is provided in a selected location by the autonomous vehicle. The driver's responses to the training simulation can optionally be monitored and a determination can made based on the driver responses as to the suitability of the driver to safely address the potential driving context.
