Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method and system for ensuring a smooth transition between manual and autonomous driving modes, comprising the steps of: polling 802 at least one autonomous vehicle operation task to determine health information associated with driving a vehicle in autonomous driving mode in an environment while the vehicle is operated in manual driving mode in the environment; comparing 804 the health information to a respective threshold, wherein the respective threshold is adaptive based on a current operational state of the vehicle in the manual driving mode; setting 806 a transition indicator based on the comparison, the transition indicator signifying an availability of a smooth transition from the manual driving mode to the autonomous driving mode; and rejecting 808 a transition from the manual driving mode to the autonomous driving mode in response to the transition indicator indicating a smooth transition is unavailable.
