Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 17:
18. A method comprising:
receiving, using at least one processor, data indicative of a planned path for an automated vehicle, of current states of the automated vehicle and of an environment in which the automated vehicle operates;
receiving, using the at least one processor, a first deviation signal or a second deviation signal;
iterating, using the at least one processor, over tracked objects to generate a currently selected object for respective simulations;
in accordance with receiving a first deviation signal:
simulating, using a first simulator with the data as input, motion of the automated vehicle and the current selected object to determine whether the current selected object is a responsible object that caused the deviation of the automated vehicle from the planned path;

in accordance with receiving a second deviation signal:
simulating, using a second simulator with the data as input, motion of the automated vehicle and the current selected object to determine whether the current selected object is a responsible object that caused the deviation of the automated vehicle from the planned path; and

presenting, using the at least one processor, a message to an occupant in the automated vehicle, the message indicative of the deviation from the planned path and the responsible object identified as a reason for the deviation.
