Abstract
Techniques for engaging and disengaging a vehicle from an autonomous operation mode are described. The techniques include receiving a request to engage or disengage the autonomous mode at a teleoperations system. The request is validated at the teleoperations system using a first set of conditions describing trust in the request and validity of the request. The request is then sent, if valid, to the vehicle where a second validation is performed using a second set of conditions describing the conditions or states of the vehicle. If the second conditions are valid then the request is performed and the vehicle engages or disengages from autonomous mode.
