Original Abstract Submitted
an autonomous driving arrangement for a motor vehicle having wheels includes an autonomous driving system, and a sensor detecting a condition of a human driver. a driving control device is engaged by a hand or foot of the driver to thereby enable the driver to control the wheels by engaging the driving control device. an electronic processor is communicatively coupled to each of the autonomous driving system, the sensor, and the driving control device. the processor receives signals from the sensor. in response to the signals indicating that the driver is ready to drive the motor vehicle, the processor enables the driving control device and disables the autonomous driving system. in response to the signals indicating that the driver is unready to drive the motor vehicle, the processor refrains from enabling the driving control device and continues to enable the autonomous driving system to control the wheels.
