Abstract
In an example embodiment, a computer-implemented method is disclosed that generates a spectral signature describing one or more dynamic objects and a scene layout of a current road scene; identifies, from among one or more scene clusters included in a familiarity graph associated with a user, a road scene cluster corresponding to the current road scene; determine a position of the spectral signature relative to other spectral signatures comprising the identified road scene cluster; and generates a familiarity index estimating familiarity of the user with the current road scene based on the position of the spectral signature. The method can further include determining an assistance level based on the familiarity index of the user; and providing one or more of an auditory instruction, a visual instruction, and a tactile instruction to the user via one or more output devices of a vehicle at the determined assistance level.
