Abstract
Disengagement of an autonomous driving mode based on vehicle operating conditions, including: receiving, from a steering torque sensor, torque sensor data indicating an amount of torque applied to a steering system of an autonomous vehicle; determining a predicted torque based on one or more motion attributes of the steering system of the autonomous vehicle; determining an estimated operator-provided torque as a differential between the predicted torque and the amount of torque; selecting a threshold from a plurality of thresholds, wherein each threshold of the plurality of thresholds corresponds to a different possible operating condition of the autonomous vehicle; and disengaging an autonomous driving mode of the autonomous vehicle based on the differential exceeding the threshold.
