Abstract
Systems and methods for personalizing adaptive cruise control in a vehicle are disclosed herein. One embodiment collects vehicle-following-behavior data associated with a particular driver; trains a Gaussian Process (GP) Regression model using the collected vehicle-following-behavior data to produce a set of adaptive-cruise-control (ACC) parameters pertaining to the particular driver, the set of ACC parameters modeling learned vehicle-following behavior of the particular driver; generates an acceleration command for the vehicle based, at least in part, on the set of ACC parameters; applies a predictive safety filter to the acceleration command to produce a certified acceleration command that has been vetted for safety; and controls acceleration of the vehicle automatically in accordance with the certified acceleration command to regulate a following distance between a lead vehicle and the vehicle in accordance with the learned vehicle-following behavior of the particular driver.
