Abstract: A method and/or computer program product automatically toggles insurance policy provisions for a self-driving vehicle (SDV) based on an operational mode of the SDV. One or more processor(s) receive an electronic signal indicating an operational mode of an SDV in real-time, where operational mode is either an autonomous mode or a manual mode. A first insurance policy provision provides coverage while the SDV is operating in the autonomous mode, and a second insurance policy provision provides coverage while the SDV is operating in the manual mode. The processor(s) monitor the SDV for a change in real-time to the operational mode of the SDV. In response to detecting a change in real-time to the operational mode of the SDV, the processor(s) dynamically toggle activation of the first and second insurance policy provisions consistent with the change in real-time to the operational mode of the SDV.

Abstract: A method and/or computer program product identifies and/or predicts a cognitive state of a user. A buffer on a device is loaded with a predetermined set of sensor readings for a user. A hardware receiver receives a “push” signal from the device. The “push” signal is transmitted by the user in response to the user subjectively experiencing a user-defined cognitive state. The “push” signal causes readings from the buffer to be loaded as pushed sensor readings onto a data matrix. One or more processors analyze the pushed sensor readings to identify a sensor pattern of the pushed sensor readings. In response to detecting a subsequent set of sensor readings that match the sensor pattern of the pushed sensor readings, a signal transmitter transmits a cognitive state signal that indicates a prediction of a particular cognitive state of the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically managing figments are disclosed. A computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a computing device, a question from a user; answering, by the computing device, the question using a first degree figment; classifying, by the computing device, the question based on topics; forwarding, by the computing device, the question to a set of second degree figments; receiving, by the computing device, answers to the question from the set of second degree figments; ranking, by the computing device, the answers received from the set of second degree figments; and providing, by the computing device, the ranked answers to the user.

Abstract: A processor-implemented method and/or computer program product selectively blocks a self-driving vehicle's access to a roadway. A vehicle interrogation hardware device receives an autonomous capability signal from an approaching self-driving vehicle. One or more processors compare the predefined roadway conditions to current roadway conditions of the access-controlled roadway. In response to the predefined roadway conditions matching the current roadway conditions of the access-controlled roadway within a predetermined range, the processor(s) determine whether the level of autonomous capability of the approaching self-driving vehicle is adequate to safely maneuver the approaching self-driving vehicle through the current roadway conditions of the access-controlled roadway. In response determining that the level of autonomous capability of the self-driving vehicle is not adequate to safely maneuver the approaching self-driving vehicle through the current roadway conditions of the access-controlled roadway, an automatic barricade controlling device positions an automatic barricade to block the approaching self-driving vehicle from accessing the access-controlled roadway.

Abstract: Detecting user input based on multiple gestures is provided. One or more interactions are received from a user via a user interface. An inferred interaction is determined based, at least in part, on a geometric operation, wherein the geometric operation is based on the one or more interactions. The inferred interaction is presented via the user interface. Whether a confirmation has been received for the inferred interaction is determined.

Abstract: A method controls an operational mode of a self-driving vehicle (SDV). One or more physical detectors detect an erratically driven vehicle (EDV) that is being operated in an unsafe manner within a predetermined distance of an SDV that is initially being operated in an evasive autonomous mode. One or more processors retrieve traffic pattern data for other SDVs, and examine the traffic pattern data to 1) determine a first traffic flow of the other SDVs while operating in the evasive autonomous mode, and 2) determine a second traffic flow of the other SDVs while operating in a manual mode. In response to determining that the first traffic flow has a higher accident rate than the second traffic flow, an operational mode device changes the operational mode of the SDV from the evasive autonomous mode to the manual mode.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product automatically provides spatial separation between a self-driving vehicle (SDV) operating in an autonomous mode and another vehicle on a roadway. One or more processors receive an emotional state descriptor for at least one occupant of the SDV and determine an emotional state of the occupant(s) of the SDV. A vehicle detector on the SDV detects another vehicle and the size of the other vehicle within a predefined proximity of the SDV. A control mechanisms controller determines that a field of view for the occupants in the SDV is blocked by the size of the other vehicle. The processor(s) issue spatial separation instructions to the control mechanisms controller on the SDV to adjust a spacing between the SDV and the other vehicle based on the emotional state descriptor for the occupant(s) in the SDV and the field of view for the occupant(s) in the SDV that is blocked by the size of the other vehicle.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product controls a driving mode of a self-driving vehicle (SDV) when a driver receives a telecommunication message on a telecommunication device. An SDV on-board computer within the SDV detects that the SDV is currently being operated in manual mode by a human driver. The SDV on-board computer detects that a telecommunication device located within the SDV is receiving a telecommunication message. In response to detecting that the telecommunication device within the SDV is receiving the telecommunication message, the SDV on-board computer transfers control of the SDV to the SDV on-board computer in order to place the SDV in autonomous mode, where the SDV is in the autonomous mode when steering, braking, throttle control, and obstacle avoidance by the SDV are all controlled by the SDV on-board computer.
