Abstract
Methods, systems, and vehicles are provided for controlling an automated system of a vehicle. In one example, the vehicle includes one or more automated driving systems, a plurality of position determining systems, and a processor. The processor is coupled to the one or more automated driving systems and the plurality of position determining systems, and is configured to at least facilitate determining a current position of the vehicle using an operational mode comprising one or more of the position determining systems, operating the one or more automated driving systems in an automated mode, without driver intervention, if the operational mode includes use of both satellite provided position data in addition to satellite correction data, and operating the one or more automated driving systems in a manual mode, with driver intervention, if the operational mode does not include use of both satellite provided position data in addition to satellite correction data.
