Claim 5:
6. A system for training a learning algorithm for a driver assistance system for a vehicle, comprising:
first sensor for recording steering torque data for the vehicle;
second sensor for recording distance data associated with a driver's hands and a steering wheel;
a storage medium for storing recorded steering torque data and distance data; and
a control unit, operatively coupled to the storage medium, wherein the control unit and storage medium are configured to
detect hands-off conditions for associated time intervals, based on at least the recorded distance data and one or more of (i) steering wheel movement data, (ii) data describing the course of the roadway, (iii) lane detection data, and/or (iv) vehicle movement data;
link the detected hands-off conditions with the recorded steering torque data for the time intervals; and
compile the linked hands-off conditions and generating labeled steering torque data, configured to be processed as training data for detecting future hands-off conditions in the learning algorithm for the vehicle.
