MULTIPLE DRIVING MODES FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- one or more control computing devices configured to send commands to one or more actuators of a vehicle in order to control deceleration, acceleration, and steering of the vehicle, and wherein the vehicle includes one or more user input devices for allowing a driver to control the one or more actuators in order to control deceleration, acceleration, and steering of the vehicle;
wherein the one or more control computing devices are configured to allow the vehicle to operate the vehicle in;
a manual driving mode wherein a human operator controls the steering, braking and acceleration of the vehicle;
a first autonomous driving mode wherein the one or more control computing devices are configured to send the commands to control one or more actuators and wherein inputs from the one or more user input devices are prioritized over the commands; and
a second autonomous driving mode wherein the one or more control computing devices are configured to send the commands to control the one or more actuators and wherein inputs from commands are prioritized over the inputs from the one or more user input devices.

Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to vehicle systems including one or more control computing devices configured to send commands to one or more actuators of the vehicle in order to control deceleration, acceleration, and steering. The vehicle may include user input devices for allowing a driver to control the one or more actuators in order to control deceleration, acceleration, and steering. The computing devices are configured to operate in a manual driving mode where commands from the control computing devices are invalidated and ignored by the actuators, a first autonomous driving mode where the control computing devices are configured to send the commands to control the actuators and inputs from the user input devices are prioritized over the commands; and a second autonomous driving mode wherein the control computing devices are configured to send the commands to control the actuators and inputs from commands are prioritized over inputs from the user input devices.
