Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An autonomous vehicle includes processing circuitry configured to receive autonomous control of the vehicle. Additionally, the autonomous vehicle is configured to determine if the operator is ready to take control of the vehicle, maintain autonomous control of the vehicle when the operator is not ready to take control of the vehicle, and pass manual control of the vehicle to the operator when the operator is ready to take control of the vehicle. Further, the autonomous vehicle is configured to control the autonomous vehicle in a predetermined driving pattern while the vehicle is being operated autonomously, determine if the operator reacts in an expected way in response to the vehicle being controlled in the predetermined way, maintain autonomous control of the vehicle when the operator does not react in the expected way, and pass manual control of the vehicle to the operator when the operator does react in the expected way.
