Abstract
Technical solutions are described for facilitating an electric power steering (EPS) system to determine an operating mode of a vehicle that is equipped with the EPS, where the operating mode is indicative of a level of autonomous driving being used by the vehicle. The technical solutions further facilitate detecting a change in the operating mode of the vehicle, and facilitating a transition in computing an assist signal for the EPS system during the transition between the operating modes.
