Abstract
A vehicle system includes an autonomous mode controller and a processor. The autonomous mode controller is programmed to control a host vehicle in a partially autonomous mode. The processor is programmed to identify a driver, determine whether the driver is authorized to operate the host vehicle in the partially autonomous mode, and disable the partially autonomous mode if the driver is not authorized to operate the host vehicle in the partially autonomous mode.
