US Patent 11940790 Safe hand-off between human driver and autonomous driving system

Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses may determine whether a human driver, or an autonomous driving system, should be in control of a vehicle in response to a detection of an unexpected event. A decision may be made to pass control from the autonomous driving system to the human driver, if it is determined that the human driver can handle the unexpected event more safely than the autonomous vehicle.
