Abstract
A method of transitioning from an autonomous driving mode to a manual driving mode for a vehicle is provided. The method includes comparing a steering device input angle to an autonomously controlled steering angle to determine a steering angle error. The method also includes comparing an acceleration or deceleration input to an autonomously controlled acceleration or deceleration input to determine an acceleration or deceleration error. The method further includes progressively transitioning to the manual driving mode in a weighted manner based on a confidence level factor determined by a calculation that factors in the steering angle error and the acceleration or deceleration error.
