Abstract
A method for a replay driver skill improvement system is described. The method includes logging vehicle commands requested by a vehicle operator of an ego vehicle to perform a selected driving maneuver. The method also includes identifying one or more of the logged vehicle commands in which operation of the ego vehicle is outside of a predetermined threshold while performing the selected driving maneuver. The method further includes operating the ego vehicle according to the logged vehicle commands until the one or more of the logged vehicle commands in which operation of the ego vehicle is outside of the predetermined threshold are reached. The method also includes performing, through shared control with the vehicle operator, improved vehicle commands to complete the selected driving maneuver while operating the ego vehicle at or within the predetermined threshold.
