The present disclosure relates to a trust enhancement method and a trust enhancement apparatus for an intelligent driving system.
Before the arrival of completely unmanned driving, it will experience a long period of human-machine co-driving.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, after determining the reliability of the intelligent driving system, the method may further include:
In some embodiments, the reliability is prompted to the driver in a quantifiable manner such as a percentage value, a level, or the like, wherein in the cases of different levels of reliability, the interaction manner with the driver may be different. When the level of reliability is higher, the intensity of interaction with the driver is weaker, and when the level of reliability is lower, the intensity of interaction with the driver is stronger, thereby improving the effective communication of human-machine co-driving. It can be implemented to remind the driver to pay attention to the road condition by different interaction manners.
As shown in
For example, for the high level of reliability, the interaction may mainly adopt a visual prompt, and the driver is notified of the level of reliability by the icons or animations.
For the low level of reliability, depending on the specific scene, there are different prompting manners, such as the prompt sound, the voice, the strong visual reminder, and the like.
In some embodiments, there may also be a smooth animation transition between reminding notifications with different levels of reliability.
The reliability may be prompted to the driver by way of percentage or different levels. Taking 3 levels as an example: Level 3 represents that the system may handle successfully in this scene so as to increase the driver's confidence; Level 2 represents that the system may handle successfully or fail in this scene, so as to invite the driver's attention; Level 1 represents that the system has a high probability to fail in this scene, and the driver needs to pay attention to the road condition all the time.
