9. A system for providing flexible vehicle status notifications via an instrument cluster displayed on an in-vehicle screen; the system comprising:
at least one processor;
a memory storage device including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
receive information associated with a gauge measurement of a gauge that is outside a normal operating range;
determine a gauge state based on the received information;
determine whether the gauge is currently displayed on-screen or hidden from display;
when the gauge is currently displayed on-screen, update the instrument cluster to change the gauge from a current display state to a display state associated with the gauge state, wherein the display state includes presentation attributes of a salience level corresponding to the gauge state;
when the gauge is currently hidden from display, update the instrument cluster to show the gauge in the display state associated with the gauge state; and
wherein when the gauge is currently hidden from display, in updating the instrument cluster to show the gauge, the system is configured to:
determine whether the gauge has an assigned position in the instrument cluster;
when the gauge has an assigned position in the instrument cluster, show the gauge in the assigned position; and
when the gauge does not have an assigned position in the instrument cluster, show the gauge in a dynamic container, wherein the dynamic container has an assigned position in the instrument cluster and is assignable to display any of a plurality of hidden gauges including the gauge.
