System and methods to improve automated driving utilization

A controller is provided to predict potential future engagement or disengagement of an automated driving feature in a vehicle and proactively implement operations to reduce the likelihood of the disengagement or increase the likelihood of the engagement. The controller is configured to: access a model of transfer-of-control events, the transfer-of-control events comprising disengagement and/or engagement transfer-of-control events, the model of transfer-of-control events generated from a crowd-sourced dataset of prior transfer-of-control events and corresponding contexts; identify a transfer-of-control event that has the potential of occurring in the future based on the planned vehicle travel path; determine the likelihood of the identified transfer-of-control event occurring in the future; access, a model of reasons for a transfer-of-control event; identify a potential reason for the identified transfer-of-control event; determine, based on the identified potential reason for transfer-of-control, an action to affect the likelihood of the transfer-of-control event; and cause the action to be implemented.
