Abstract
Systems and methods for managing autonomous vehicle operator vigilance are provided. A method can include determining, by a computing system comprising one or more processors, a first vigilance prompt. The first vigilance prompt can be included in a plurality of vigilance prompts. Each of the plurality of vigilance prompts can be different from each other vigilance prompt. Each vigilance prompt can be a prompt for the vehicle operator to perform a particular interaction with the autonomous vehicle. The method can further include providing, by the computing system, the first vigilance prompt to a vehicle operator of an autonomous vehicle. The method can further include receiving, by the computing system, a first response from the vehicle operator in response to the first vigilance prompt. The method can further include determining, by the computing system, a vehicle operator vigilance level based at least in part on the first response.
