Systems and method are provided for controlling a vehicle. In one embodiment, a vehicle includes: one or more onboard sensing devices, one or more onboard actuators, and a controller that, by a processor, obtains sensor data from the one or more sensing devices, identifies an assistance event based at least in part on the sensor data, determines an automated response to the assistance event based at least in part on the sensor data and an autonomous assistance policy, and autonomously operates the one or more actuators onboard the vehicle in accordance with the automated response. In exemplary embodiments, the autonomous assistance policy is determined using inverse reinforcement learning to optimize a reward function and mimic a remote human assistor.
