SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VEHICLE COMMUNICATION CONSISTENCY

System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to addressing inconsistencies between a trajectory plan and a communication from an occupant of an autonomously operated vehicle. A method of resolving inconsistent communication includes obtaining a trajectory plan for the vehicle, detecting, using one or more internal sensors, body language of the occupant the vehicle, analyzing sensor data from the one or more internal sensors to determine a verbal or non-verbal communication indication by the occupant, and detecting an inconsistency between the verbal or non-verbal communication indication and the trajectory plan and: 1) modifying the trajectory plan to form a modified trajectory plan aligned with the verbal or non-verbal communication indication, or 2) transmitting a notification to the occupant prompting the occupant to adjust the verbal or non-verbal communication indication.
