Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for adjusting autonomous vehicle driving behavior. A controller of the autonomous vehicle may utilize an aggression factor to adjust control of the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle may detect one or more characteristics of proximate vehicles, analyze the one or more characteristics to estimate an aggression level of the proximate vehicles, and adjust the aggression factor based on the estimated aggression level.
