Systems and methods are provided for communicating a blending parameter via tactile feedback at a driver's seat of a vehicle (examples of tactile feedback may comprise vibrations and temperature/heat applied through the driver's seat). The blending parameter may represent the ratio between the driver's level of authority and an autonomous driving system's level of authority in performing a driving task (e.g., lateral steering). By communicating changes to a blending parameter over time, examples can help a driver form a mental picture of how the vehicle/autonomous driving system is operating. This feedback/understanding may by advantageous for various purposes such as driver coaching and helping drivers become more comfortable with autonomous driving systems.
