Abstract

Provided herein are systems and methods of transferring controls in vehicular settings. A vehicle control unit can have a manual mode and an autonomous mode. An environment sensing module can identify a condition to change an operational mode of the vehicle control unit from the autonomous mode to the manual mode. A behavior classification module can determine an activity type of an occupant based on data from a sensor. A reaction prediction can use a behavior model to determine, based on the activity type, an estimated reaction time between a presentation of an indication to the occupant to assume manual control of vehicular function and a state change of the operational mode from the autonomous mode to the manual mode. A policy enforcement module can apply the action based on the estimated reaction time in advance of the condition to indicate to the occupant to assume manual control.
