Abstract
Vehicles and related systems and methods are provided for predicting a future maneuver expected to be executed by a driver. One method involves determining a combined probability for a potential maneuver based on constituent probabilities corresponding to different vehicle state variables, and environmental conditions using one or more tuning parameters specific to the respective combination of maneuver and vehicle state variable, determining an adjusted probability for the potential maneuver based at least in part on the combined probability and one or more contextual state variables corresponding to a current operating context for the vehicle, adapted to driver behavior and driving style, identifying the potential maneuver as an expected maneuver to be executed by a driver of the vehicle based on the adjusted probability, and automatically initiating one or more actions in a manner that is influenced by the expected maneuver.
