Abstract
A method for managing a hand-over from an Automated Driving System (ADS) to driver of vehicle, where ADS includes ADS feature being associated with first set of pre-cautionary constraints out of plurality of pre-cautionary constraints imposed by Pre-cautionary Safety (PCS) module while ADS feature controls vehicle. The method includes obtaining request to deactivate ADS feature, and providing partial control of vehicle to driver in order to enable manual driver operation of vehicle based on obtained request. The method includes monitoring manual driver operation of vehicle for a time period, and evaluating monitored manual driver operation of vehicle against second set of pre-cautionary constraints during time period. Then, based on evaluation, the method includes deactivating second set of pre-cautionary constraints upon expiry of time period if manual driver operation passes evaluation, or providing control of vehicle to ADS if manual driver operation fails evaluation.
