6.5 Safety Readiness (User Service*)

The Safety Readiness user service implements systems that provide drivers with warnings regarding their own driving performance, the condition of the vehicle, and the condition of the roadway as sensed from the vehicle. At the more complex level, Safety Readiness systems will also include the ability to assume temporary, partial control of the vehicle in situations deemed to be highly hazardous. The service includes Impaired Driver Warning and Control Override systems that monitor driver performance features and either warn of impaired driver condition or take temporary control of the vehicle to prevent or discourage continued driving under such circumstances. The service also includes Vehicle Condition Warning systems that monitor the performance of components, such as tires and brakes, whose degradation could have a significant impact on the safe operation of the vehicle, and warn of their imminent failure. The service includes In-Vehicle Infrastructure Condition Warning systems that detect and warn the driver of unsafe conditions on the roadway or bridge infrastructure, such as the presence of ice or water.
