Abstract: A method of operating an autonomous vehicle in a supervised autonomous mode is disclosed. A supervised autonomous mode can include the steps of receiving a vehicle data from a vehicle, presenting vehicle data at a remote station, receiving a supervisor input from a supervisor input device at the remote station, converting the supervisor input into a nudge for the motion planner of the vehicle associated with the received first set of vehicle data, wherein the nudge at least includes information on how to modify one or more elements of the cost function of the motion planner and transmitting the nudge from the remote station to the motion planner such that the nudge at least temporarily updates a cost function based model of the motion planner based on the nudge.

Abstract: A method for determining whether the driver of a vehicle is holding the steering wheel includes steps of repeatedly determining (S1) the steering wheel angle, repeatedly determining (S2) an error value based on a current determined steering wheel angle value and a previously determined steering wheel angle value; comparing (S3) a determined current error value with previously determined error values to determine a correlation between the error values; determining (S4a) that the driver is holding the steering wheel if the correlation between the error values is above a threshold value or if the driver is not holding the steering wheel if the correlation between the error values is below a threshold value. Also, a system for determining whether the driver of a vehicle is holding the steering wheel by performing the method. Also a computer program and a computer program product for practicing the method.
