Abstract

A computer-implemented method and system for in-vehicle dynamic virtual reality includes determining a spatial environment around a vehicle and one or more maneuver paths for the vehicle in the spatial environment. The method includes updating a virtual view based on the spatial environment and the maneuver paths. Updating the virtual view includes augmenting one or more components of a virtual world model to indicate the spatial environment and the maneuver paths. The virtual view is rendered to an output device. The method includes generating a vehicle maneuver request for the vehicle. The vehicle maneuver request includes at least a desired vehicle maneuver and the vehicle maneuver request is based at least in part on the spatial environment. The method includes controlling one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle based on the vehicle maneuver request.
