Abstract

A method of controlling availability of autonomy functions of a vehicle includes determining one or more uncertainty levels, each corresponding to a driving data stream including driving data, wherein the uncertainty levels correspond to a probability of a collision or driving off the roadway. The method further includes generating a total uncertainty level based on the one or more uncertainty levels and disabling a first autonomy function based on availability criteria of the first autonomy function. The availability criteria define a first threshold of the total uncertainty level. The method further includes providing a second autonomy function based on the second autonomy function's availability criteria that include a total uncertainty threshold higher than the first threshold.
