Abstract

The present teaching relates to method, system, and medium, for switching a mode of a vehicle. Real-time data related to the vehicle and a state of a driver are received and used to determine a set of tasks to be performed to switch the vehicle from a current mode to a different mode based on a task model. A first duration of time required to switch is determined based on a first risk associated with the current mode. A task duration time needed to complete each task is estimated. A second risk associated with the switching is determined based on the first duration as required and a total duration of time determined based on the task duration time needed to complete the set of tasks. The vehicle mode is switched if the second risk satisfying a criterion.
