Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a direction and speed of travel of an autonomous vehicle or driver assisted autonomous vehicle (AV). A GPS and map module receive a start location and a destination location for the AV and generate a plan to move the AV from the start location to the destination location. A trajectory profile generator module receives the plan and calculates a path to move the AV from the start location to the destination location. A supervisory control module receives the calculated path and selects a speed for the AV based on a geometry of the calculated path, inner ear constraints comprising a level of frequencies in a human's inner ear crossover spectrum and a decay time of inner ear disturbance history, the speed limit, and environmental information. A steering control module receives the calculated path and selected speed and control acceleration of the AV based thereon.
