1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
detecting, by an assisted-driving system that is currently controlling motion of a first vehicle, a traffic event external to the first vehicle; and
providing, by the assisted-driving system and in response to detecting the traffic event, confirmation to a passenger in the first vehicle that the assisted-driving system is handling the traffic event, the confirmation including a physical feedback perceptible to the passenger;
wherein the physical feedback comprises a first braking action with regard to the first vehicle, and wherein the assisted-driving system plans a second braking action in response to detecting the traffic event, and wherein the first braking action precedes the second braking action.
