Abstract
A host vehicle includes a driver re-engagement assessment system and an X-by-wire device adapted for both manual control and automated control by an automated guidance system. The driver re-engagement assessment system includes a controller, a user interface, and test execution module and a test evaluation module. The user interface is configured to interface with an occupant and output an occupant directive signal for manual control to the controller. The test execution module initiates an occupant re-engagement test upon receipt of the occupant directive signal by the controller. The test evaluation module is configured to receive an occupant performance signal indicative of occupant performance during the re-engagement test, and evaluate the occupant performance signal to determine a test pass result and a test fail result. The manual control of the host vehicle is assumed by the occupant upon the determination of the test pass result.
