Abstract
The invention is related to a method and vehicle comprising a driver seat and at least one passenger seat for providing a co-driver and/or fellow passenger with information on a currently experienced driving situation. In an estimating unit at least one driver parameter is estimated. The driver parameter describes at least one aspect of current driving action performed by the driver of the vehicle. Furthermore, in the estimating unit at least one traffic situation parameter is estimated describing at least an aspect of the traffic situation encountered by the vehicle. From the at least one driver parameter and/or from the at least one traffic situation parameter then information that is related to the currently experienced driving situation is generated. This information is then output to a co-driver and/or fellow passenger via a dedicated interface unit.
