Semiautonomous vehicle control system
A controller includes a processor and a memory storing processor-executable instructions. The processor is programmed to activate a first autonomy mode to control steering and at least one of propulsion and braking. The processor is further programmed to, while in the first autonomy mode, disregard a command from an occupant to perform an action interfering with an ability of the occupant to one of see a field of travel of a vehicle and provide input to the vehicle.
1. A controller comprising a processor and a memory storing processor-executable instructions, wherein the processor is programmed to:
activate a first autonomy mode to control steering and at least one of propulsion and braking; and
while in the first autonomy mode, disregard a command from an occupant to at least one of adjust a position of a steering wheel or, if a safety threshold is exceeded, deactivate windshield wipers or headlamps or recline a driver seat.
2. The controller of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to, while in a second autonomy mode, obey the command from the occupant.
3. The controller of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to deactivate the first autonomy mode based on a driving environment.
4. The controller of claim 1 , wherein the first autonomy mode includes control of each of steering, propulsion, and braking; and the processor is further programmed to deactivate the first autonomy mode based on a driving environment.
5. The controller of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to, while in the first autonomy mode, deactivate the first autonomy mode in response to the command.
6. The controller of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to, while in the first autonomy mode, stop the vehicle in response to the command.
7. A controller comprising a processor and a memory storing processor-executable instructions, wherein the processor is programmed to:
activate a first autonomy mode to control steering and at least one of propulsion and braking; and
while in the first autonomy mode, disregard a command to one of deactivate windshield wipers while precipitation is detected, deactivate headlamps while ambient light is below an intensity threshold, and recline a driver seat beyond an angular threshold.
8. The controller of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further programmed to, while in a second autonomy mode, obey the command.
9. The controller of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further programmed to deactivate the first autonomy mode based on a driving environment.
10. The controller of claim 7 , wherein the first autonomy mode includes control of each of steering, propulsion, and braking; and the processor is further programmed to deactivate the first autonomy mode based on a driving environment.
11. The controller of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further programmed to, while in the first autonomy mode, deactivate the first autonomy mode in response to the command.
12. The controller of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further programmed to, while in the first autonomy mode, stop the vehicle in response to the command.
13. The controller of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further programmed to receive a signal indicating precipitation, and while in the first autonomy mode, to disregard a command to deactivate the windshield wipers based on the signal.
14. The controller of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further programmed to receive a signal indicating an intensity of ambient light, and while in the first autonomy mode, to disregard a command to deactivate the headlamps based on the signal.
15. The controller of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further programmed, while in the first autonomy mode, to disregard a command to recline the driver seat beyond the angular threshold.
16. A method comprising:
activating a first autonomy mode to control steering and at least one of propulsion and braking; and
while in the first autonomy mode, disregarding a command from an occupant to at least one of adjust a position of a steering wheel or, if safety threshold is exceeded, deactivate windshield wipers or headlamps or recline a driver seat.
17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising, while in a second autonomy mode, obeying the command from the occupant.
18. The method of claim 16 , further comprising deactivating the first autonomy mode based on a driving environment.
