Abstract
One variation of a method for customizing motion characteristics of an autonomous vehicle for a user includes: accessing a baseline emotional state of the user following entry of the user into the autonomous vehicle at a first time proximal a start of a trip; during a first segment of the trip, autonomously navigating toward a destination location according to a first motion planning parameter, accessing a second emotional state of the user at a second time, detecting degradation of sentiment of the user based on differences between the baseline and second emotional states; and correlating degradation of sentiment of the user with a navigational characteristic of the autonomous vehicle; modifying the first motion planning parameter of the autonomous vehicle to deviate from the navigational characteristic; and, during a second segment of the trip, autonomously navigating toward the destination location according to the revised motion planning parameter.
