Abstract
Vehicles, methods, and computer readable storage media are provided for implementing a hybrid control for an autonomous vehicle. The vehicle can be controlled by receiving a request from an individual for transportation in the vehicle. The vehicle can then navigate with an autonomous control component to the location of an individual to commence the transportation. Then the vehicle can detect, by one or more sensors, that the individual has entered the vehicle. Then, responsive to detecting that the individual has entered the vehicle, the vehicle can change from an autonomous control component to a hybrid control component wherein the hybrid component control comprises allowing the individual to control one or more vehicle control features that were under autonomous control in autonomous component control.
