As automated driving technology advances, drivers are gradually taking the role of passengers. During this transition of the driver’s role, learning methods to adapt the planned path to individual drivers have been proposed to improve the comfort and trust provided by automated driving systems (ADSs). However, existing methods apply offline learning from data of manual driving conducted at least once in a specific situation, even if they can accept the request to learn while driving (on-demand learning). Although several online learning methods are available, their learning results have not been applied in real time for vehicle maneuvering. Focusing on obstacle avoidance, we propose on-demand online learning of preferred paths for individual drivers and investigate whether the proposed method improves the comfort and trust provided by the ADS after learning. Unlike the existing methods, the proposed ADS can smoothly and arbitrarily transition between automated and manual driving, thereby learning preferred maneuvers whose results can be applied in real-time to obstacle avoidance. Accordingly, the proposed ADS includes mutual transfer of steering authority between the ADS and driver and curve modification resembling proportional–derivative control according to the error between the ADS planned path and actual vehicle trajectory. Experimental results from driving simulations and questionnaire survey responses show that the proposed ADS method improves the comfort and trust of drivers. In addition, the proposed ADS method learns the paths preferred by individual drivers during avoidance maneuvers to some extent and gradually adjusts the path according to the driver’s preference through repeated learning. The proposed method may contribute to the convenience of ADSs and their fast adaptation to various traffic situations. Furthermore, the proposed method can serve as basis for online learning and its real-time application to other ADS operations.
