Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for detecting road user frustration such as aggressive road users and/or uncomfortable road user behavior, and evaluating autonomous vehicle driving behavior that results in the road user frustration. An autonomous vehicle fleet can leverage information about typical road user behavior to create an index measuring the frustration level of other road users and/or likeability of autonomous vehicle behavior by other road users. Additionally, perception algorithms associated with sound detection and tracking can define human characteristics associated with frustrated drivers or other road users. Autonomous vehicle performance can be improved as a result of data analysis from the behavior of other road users.
