Abstract
A method and system operable for detecting and adequately warning a driver that is determined to be of a unique out-of-the-loop class of drivers that mistakenly believe that a road vehicle operating in a driver-assist or self-driving (i.e., piloted-driving) mode will automatically identify and react to a perceived or sudden threat. A method and system operable for detecting and adequately warning an inattentive, drowsy, and/or out-of-the-loop driver and assessing and confirming the driver's adequate response to the associated warning prompt(s), which may include audio, visual, haptic, and, more preferably, brake pulse or the like warning prompt(s).
