First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for sensor fusion for autonomous driving transition control, the system comprising:
- a sensor fusion module that fuses a plurality of steering sensor data from one or more sensors of a steering system with a plurality of driver state data from a plurality of driver state sensors as a plurality of fused state data aligned in time; and
a decision making module that determines whether to transition from an autonomous driving mode to a manual driving mode based on the fused state data.

Abstract
A system for sensor fusion for autonomous driving transition control includes a sensor fusion module and a decision making module. The sensor fusion module fuses a plurality of steering sensor data from one or more sensors of a steering system with a plurality of driver state data from a plurality of driver state sensors as a plurality of fused state data aligned in time. The decision making module determines whether to transition from an autonomous driving mode to a manual driving mode based on the fused state data.
