Vehicle and method for advising driver of same

This invention describes a car system that uses vibrations to warn the driver if they are getting too close to another vehicle. The system learns how the driver typically drives and sets a personalized warning distance, which can adjust dynamically but never goes below a safe minimum. The vibration could come from a special accelerator pedal, and its intensity might change based on how close the cars are.

Why it matters: Filed in 2009, this concept predates the widespread adoption of advanced embedded machine learning and AI processors in vehicles. Today, the computational power and sensor fusion capabilities needed to robustly learn and adapt to individual driver behaviors in real-time are far more accessible and cost-effective, making the personalized warning system much more feasible to implement.
