  • Patent number: 10241510
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for controlling a vehicle. The vehicle is controlled to operate in an autonomous driving mode in which the vehicle is driven without a manipulation by an operator of the vehicle. A request to switch to a manual driving mode, in which the vehicle is driven with the manipulation by the operator, is received. A range of the manipulation regarding a function of the vehicle is determined according to a driving situation of the vehicle in response to the request. The vehicle is controlled to operate in the manual driving mode in which the manipulation by the operator is limited according to the range of the manipulation.
