Abstract
A vehicle including a transceiver, a memory and a processor is disclosed. The transceiver may be configured to receive a first trigger signal and a second trigger signal. The processor may be configured to determine pre-automation operational states associated with a plurality of vehicle components and optimal operational states associated with a set of vehicle components associated with an automation mode, responsive to obtaining the first trigger signal. The processor may further store an information associated with the pre-automation operational states in the memory, and cause the set of vehicle components to operate based on the optimal operational states. The processor may further restore operational states associated with the set of vehicle components back to their respective pre-automation operational states based on the information associated with the pre-automation operational states, responsive to obtaining the second trigger signal.
