Abstract
Methods, devices and systems enable controlling an autonomous vehicle by identifying vehicles that are within a threshold distance of the autonomous vehicle, determining an autonomous capability metric of each of the identified vehicles, and adjusting a driving parameter of the autonomous vehicle based on the determined autonomous capability metric of each of the identified vehicles. Adjusting a driving parameter may include adjusting one or more of a minimum separation distance, a minimum following distance, a speed parameter, or an acceleration rate parameter.
