SPOKEN NOTIFICATIONS FOR ACOUSTIC VEHICLE ALERTING SYSTEMS

A notification system for a vehicle is disclosed. The system can incorporate speech-based feedback to be presented via the acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) for the vehicle. In some embodiments, the AVAS can generate sounds to improve safety of pedestrians when the vehicle is in motion, while also being equipped to produce spoken words conveying information about a vehicle-related condition. In some cases, the system can choose a specific audio file to play back in response to a user's language selection.
