Abstract
A computing device in a vehicle can be programmed to determine a time to a collision and a field of safe travel, select one of a first and a second haptic output based on (a) the field of safe travel and (b) a predetermined time threshold. The computing device can deliver the first haptic output via a steering wheel when the time to collision is greater than the predetermined time threshold and deliver the second haptic output via the steering wheel when the time to collision is less than or equal to the predetermined time threshold.
