1. A method for returning driver control in a vehicle with an accelerator pedal during an automatic braking event, the method comprising the steps of:
- measuring a plurality of accelerator pedal position values during the automatic braking event, each of the plurality of accelerator pedal position values corresponding to an amount of depression of the accelerator pedal at a corresponding time during the automatic braking event, the plurality of accelerator pedal position values comprising a first accelerator pedal position and a second accelerator pedal position that is subsequent in time to the first accelerator pedal position; and
disengaging the automatic braking, if the second accelerator pedal position is greater than a dynamic threshold, the dynamic threshold being dependent upon the first accelerator pedal position.

Abstract
A method for returning driver control in a vehicle during automatic braking includes the steps of determining a minimum value of accelerator pedal position during the automatic braking, determining a current value of accelerator pedal position, and disengaging the automatic braking, if the current value is greater than the minimum value by at least a predetermined value.

13. A system for returning driver control in a vehicle with an accelerator pedal during an automatic braking event, the system comprising:
-
an accelerator pedal detector configured to detect a plurality of accelerator pedal position values during the automatic braking event, each of the plurality of accelerator pedal position values corresponding to an amount of depression of the accelerator pedal at a corresponding time during the automatic braking event; and a processor configured to; determine a minimum value of accelerator pedal position from the plurality of accelerator pedal position values, the minimum value corresponding to a lowest amount of depression of the accelerator pedal position of the plurality of accelerator pedal position values; determine a current value of accelerator pedal position based on the detected accelerator pedal position at a current point in time during the automatic braking event; and disengage the automatic braking, if the current value is greater than a dynamic threshold, the dynamic threshold being dependent upon the minimum value. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
