==COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR SWITCHING A CONTROL FUNCTION OF A VEHICLE BETWEEN A DRIVER AND AN AT LEAST PARTIALLY AUTOMATED CONTROL METHOD OF A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18479923 titled 'COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR SWITCHING A CONTROL FUNCTION OF A VEHICLE BETWEEN A DRIVER AND AN AT LEAST PARTIALLY AUTOMATED CONTROL METHOD OF A VEHICLE

==Simplified Explanation==

The computer-implemented method described in the patent application allows for the switching of a control function of a vehicle between a driver and an at least partially automated control method based on a stored driver profile and the state of the driver, vehicle, and control method.

* The method records a driver profile which includes information about the state of the driver, vehicle, and control method.
* The control function is switched between the driver and the automated control method depending on the driver profile and the current state of the driver, vehicle, and control method.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in:
* Autonomous vehicles
* Fleet management systems
* Driver assistance systems

== Problems Solved ==
This technology helps in:
* Improving safety by ensuring the most suitable control method is used at all times
* Enhancing driver comfort and convenience by automating certain control functions

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include:
* Increased efficiency in vehicle control
* Enhanced adaptability to different driving conditions
* Improved overall driving experience for the user

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
This technology could be commercially applied in:
* Automotive industry
* Transportation and logistics sector
* Technology companies developing autonomous systems

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of driver profiles in vehicle settings to customize preferences such as seat position, climate control, and entertainment options.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does the method ensure the accuracy and reliability of the driver profile data? ===
The patent application does not provide details on the mechanisms used to verify and update the driver profile information to ensure its accuracy over time.

=== What are the potential privacy implications of storing and using driver profile data in this manner? ===
The patent application does not address the potential privacy concerns related to collecting and storing sensitive driver information for control function switching purposes.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A computer-implemented method for switching a control function of a vehicle between a driver and an at least partially automated control method for controlling the vehicle. In the method, a stored driver profile is recorded, wherein a state of the driver and/or a state of the vehicle and/or a state of the control method are recorded, wherein a switch of the control function between the driver and the control method is carried out depending on the driver profile and depending on the state of the driver and/or the state of the vehicle and/or the state of the control method.
