Abstract

A system for initiating an automated slowdown procedure within a vehicle includes a system controller adapted to detect a request for initiation of an automated slowdown procedure, a human machine interface (HMI), wherein the system controller is adapted to prompt, via the HMI, the driver of the vehicle for verification to initiate the automated slowdown procedure, and a vehicle control module, wherein the system controller is adapted to initiate, via the vehicle control module, the automated slowdown procedure when either one of the driver provides, via the HMI, verification to initiate the automated slowdown procedure, or a response from the driver is not received within a pre-determined time.
