This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.
Manufacturers are increasingly producing vehicles having higher levels of driving automation. Features such as adaptive cruise control and lateral positioning have become popular and are precursors to greater adoption of fully autonomous-driving-capable vehicles.
While availability of autonomous-driving-capable vehicles is on the rise, users' familiarity and comfort with autonomous-driving functions will not necessarily keep pace. User comfort with the automation is an important aspect in overall technology adoption and user experience.
Drivers or other vehicle occupants using the autonomous functionality may not be accustomed with various aspects of being a passenger or an autonomous vehicles, lowering satisfaction with the riding experience.
Drivers using autonomous functionality may also not be accustomed to taking back control of the vehicle, which may be stressful.
