Virtual Operator Replicates User Driving Style
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Autonomous vehicles lack the ability to replicate the unique driving styles and preferences of individual users, failing to provide a personalized driving experience that accounts for specific user habits and preferences.
Innovation Solution
A system that records and stores the settings for vehicle subsystems based on a user's operation around a test track, allowing a virtual operator to autonomously adjust settings according to predefined operating modes, enabling subsequent users to experience the vehicle as if driven by the original user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If autonomous vehicles operate according to general instructions based on environmental and road conditions, then vehicle control and safety are improved, but the ability to provide personalized driving experience matching individual user preferences deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by recording and storing a first user's driving inputs, operations, and preferences during test track operations. These recorded settings are then used by the virtual operator to autonomously adjust vehicle subsystems, enabling subsequent users to experience the vehicle in a manner reflecting the original user's driving style without requiring real-time manual adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a virtual operator that copies the driving behavior, preferences, and operational patterns of a first user. This virtual operator then autonomously controls vehicle subsystems to replicate the original user's driving experience for subsequent users, allowing personalized driving characteristics to be transferred without the original user being physically present.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users operate the vehicle with different driving styles, then user preference diversity is improved, but the complexity of managing and transferring driving settings between users increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses the virtual operator to copy and transfer driving settings from one user to another. Instead of manually configuring each user's preferences, the virtual operator autonomously adjusts vehicle subsystems based on recorded data from a first user, simplifying the management of multiple user profiles while maintaining diverse driving style options.
Solution Approach 2:
The system manages user diversity by changing operational parameters of vehicle subsystems based on recorded user preferences. The virtual operator autonomously adjusts these parameters according to the assigned operating mode, allowing different users to experience tailored driving characteristics without complex manual reconfiguration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a virtual operator autonomously adjusts vehicle subsystems based on recorded user settings, then personalized driving experience is improved, but the extent of automation and system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The virtual operator is designed as a simplified copy of the original user's driving behavior rather than a fully autonomous intelligent system. It autonomously adjusts vehicle subsystems by reproducing recorded inputs and operations, providing personalized experience through pattern replication rather than complex decision-making automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically recording, storing, and applying user preferences without requiring manual intervention for each user. The virtual operator autonomously manages the adjustment of vehicle subsystems based on pre-recorded settings, reducing the need for human operators to manually configure each driving experience.

AI summary
A plurality of segments of a predetermined route are identified based on a plurality of transition points. A setting of at least one of a plurality of vehicle subsystems is adjusted according to an assigned operating mode when a vehicle enters one of the segments. The vehicle subsystems are actuated according to the assigned operating mode. The assigned operating mode is one of a plurality of operating modes. Each operating mode includes at least one predetermined setting for each one of the vehicle subsystems. The predetermined settings are defined according to data collected from operation of the vehicle in the route by a user.
