System and method for detecting and/or preventing automation expectation mismatch in vehicle

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of evaluating a current risk of mismatch between actual driving automation capabilities of a vehicle and driving automation capabilities of the vehicle expected by a driver. The method comprises monitoring at least one physical property of the driver indicative of a gaze direction; determining a first visual attention metric value indicative of a level of visual attention to the road ahead; comparing the first visual attention metric value to a first threshold value; and providing, when the comparison indicates that the current level of visual attention to the road is lower than the first threshold level, a signal indicative of an elevated risk of expectation mismatch.

1 . A driving automation method for a vehicle, said method comprising the steps of:
 identifying a lane of a road traveled by the vehicle;   controlling a steering of the vehicle towards keeping the vehicle within a first regulation corridor in said lane, said first regulation corridor having a first width; and   intermittently controlling the steering of the vehicle towards keeping the vehicle within a second regulation corridor in said lane, said second regulation corridor having a second width greater than said first width.
