Claim:
1. A computer system for controlling an autonomous vehicle, the computer system comprising: a processor, a system memory, and a bus that couples the system memory to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to perform a method comprising: identifying, by the autonomous vehicle, a driver of a human-controlled vehicle based on behavior patterns of the driver of the human-controlled vehicle measured by one or more sensors of the autonomous vehicle, wherein identifying the driver of the human-controlled vehicle comprises: interrogating the human-controlled vehicle for driver identification data, receiving the driver identification data in response, analyzing registration information of the human-controlled vehicle, and identifying the driver by using a pattern matching algorithm and the registration information; generating a model of the driver of the human-controlled vehicle based on behavior patterns of the driver measured by the one or more sensors of the autonomous vehicle; retrieving previously stored behavior patterns of the driver, based on the identification of the driver, to augment the generated model of the driver; and transmitting the generated model of the driver of the human-controlled vehicle to a second autonomous vehicle.
