1. An informational system for a mobility vehicle, comprising:
an automotive user interface configured to allow a driver and other occupants of the mobility vehicle to interact with the informational system, and
an automotive storage and processor configured to cooperate with the automotive user interface to implement an informational functionality configured to provide the driver of the mobility vehicle with notifications configured to promote learning of features of the mobility vehicle;
the automotive storage and processor configured to:
monitor exploitation of features of the mobility vehicle by the driver, and
suggest to the driver exploitation of those features of the mobility vehicle that are determined to be seldom exploited or completely unexploited by the driver;

the automotive storage and processor are further configured to execute:
a learning step during which the driver of the mobility vehicle is provided with tips configured to promote learning of features of the mobility vehicle; and
an operating step during which the driver of the mobility vehicle is provided with tips configured to promote exploitation of features of the mobility vehicle;

to implement the operating step, the automotive storage and processor are configured to:
identify one or different features of the mobility vehicle to be notified to the driver based on proprietary feature identification rules that take account of events, operating situations/conditions, states, and quantities of the mobility vehicle that allow features of the mobility vehicle to be identified that generally have not been exploited or are seldom exploited in operating situations/conditions in which their exploitation would instead be advisable or expedient to the benefit of the safety of the mobility vehicle and, hence, of passengers thereof, of fuel saving, or that generally have been or are exploited inappropriately in operating situations/conditions in which it would instead have been more appropriate to exploit different features of the mobility vehicle;
identify one or different potential tips to be provided to the driver in relation to the identified feature(s) of the mobility vehicle to be notified to the driver based on proprietary tip identification rules that take into account the operating situations/conditions of the mobility vehicle and the tip notification history;
monitor occurrence of one or different proprietary tip notification trigger conditions, upon occurrence of which it is considered to be appropriate to actually notify the driver of the mobility vehicle with one or more of the potential tips identified;
monitor occurrence of one or different proprietary tip notification safety conditions, upon occurrence of which it is considered to be safe to notify the driver with one or more of the identified potential tips; and
upon occurrence of the one or different proprietary tip notification trigger and safety conditions, provide the driver, via the automotive user interface, with one or more of the identified potentials tips according to a proprietary tip notification priority order and a proprietary tip notification mode developed to avoid or limit distracting the driver from the driving task.
