Advanced autonomous vehicle tutorial

A vehicle system comprises a user interface and a controller programmed to control the vehicle in a partially autonomous mode. When a first user input 310 requests the partially autonomous mode, the user interface is commanded to present 315 a tutorial via the user interface 320. A second user input indicates that the driver has completed the tutorial 325, and the partially autonomous mode is activated 345. The partially autonomous mode may be disabled until the second user input 325 is received. The system may be configured to identify 305 the driver and, based upon the driver identity determine 315 whether or not to present 320 the tutorial. The determination may be based upon whether or not the driver has previously completed the tutorial, and such information may be queried from a remote server. A method or operating the system is also presented. The system may be operated in autonomous vehicles, semi-autonomous vehicles, or applied to automatic parking of vehicles.
