ADAPTIVE ALERTING AND MULTIMODAL CONVERSATIONAL HMI FOR ASSISTED AND AUTOMATED DRIVING SYSTEMS

An assisted driving system of a host vehicle includes: an adaptive alert module configured to adaptively generate alerts having variable duration and intensity; a multimodal conversational interface module configured to implement a large language model to have a conversation with an occupant of the host vehicle using a plurality of modalities; and an assisted driving module configured to operate in an assisted driving mode, and while in the assisted driving mode, perform a plurality of precondition checks to enable at least one of i) the adaptive alert module to operate in an adaptive alert mode and provide the alerts via a human machine interface (HMI) of the host vehicle, and ii) the multimodal conversational interface module to perform a multimodal conversation with the occupant via the HMI.
