Abstract

A method is disclosed for incorporating preferences of a human occupant into an autonomous driving experience. The method may include a computer system autonomously controlling speed and steering of a vehicle. While it is controlling the vehicle, the computer system may interpret a speech command received from a human occupant of the vehicle. The computer system may determine whether changing at least one of the speed and steering in accordance with the speech command would be safe and legal. If it would be safe and legal, the computer system may change the at least one of the speed and steering in accordance with the speech command. If it would not be safe and legal, the computer system may leave the at least one of the speed and steering unchanged in contravention of the speech command.
