    Abstract: Vehicles and related systems and methods are provided for controlling a vehicle in an autonomous operating mode. One method involves identifying a stationary object outside a current lane of travel based at least in part on sensor data captured onboard the vehicle, determining an estimated location for the stationary object based at least in part on the sensor data and a location of the vehicle and providing the estimated location to a remote system. The remote system updates lane preference information corresponding to the estimated location for the stationary object when the stationary object satisfies one or more avoidance criteria. The method continues by determining a trajectory for a vehicle to change lanes based at least in part on the updated lane preference information and autonomously operating one or more actuators onboard the vehicle in accordance with the trajectory.

    Abstract: An active heads up display system includes a driver monitoring system, a gateway circuit, and a heads up display. The driver monitoring system tracks a gaze direction of a user, calculates track values in response to a field of view of the user based on the gaze direction, and transmits the track values on a first bus. The gateway circuit receives the track values from the first bus, translates the track values to command values, and transmits the command values on a second bus. The heads up display receives the command values from the second bus, generates a graphical presentation viewable by the user, projects the graphical presentation at a current position in front of the user, and adjusts the current position to an updated position centered within the field of view of the user in response to the command values.

    Abstract: A system and method for carrying out a remedial action based on monitoring driver attention of a vehicle driver. The method includes: obtaining driver attention sensor data from one or more driver attention sensors that are installed on the vehicle as onboard vehicle sensors; detecting a driver inattention event based on the obtained driver attention sensor data; determining one or more driver inattention metrics based on the obtained driver attention sensor data and in response to the detected driver inattention event; based on at least one of the driver inattention metrics, determining one or more remedial actions to be carried out; and carrying out the one or more remedial actions, wherein, when at least one of the one or more remedial actions is carried out, in-vehicle entertainment that is provided by one or more vehicle-user interfaces of the vehicle is restricted or prevented.
