Abstract

Automatic disengagement of an autonomous driving mode may include receiving, from a steering torque sensor, torque sensor data indicating an amount of torque applied to a steering system of the autonomous vehicle; determining a predicted torque based on one or more motion attributes of the steering system of the autonomous vehicle; determining a differential between the predicted torque and the amount of torque; and determining, based on the differential, whether to disengage an autonomous driving mode of the autonomous vehicle.
