A passenger in an automated vehicle may relinquish control of the vehicle to a control computer when the control computer has determined that it may maneuver the vehicle safely to a destination. The passenger may relinquish or regain control of the vehicle by applying different degrees of pressure, for example, on a steering wheel of the vehicle. The control computer may convey status information to a passenger in a variety of ways including by illuminating elements of the vehicle. The color and location of the illumination may indicate the status of the control computer, for example, whether the control computer has been armed, is ready to take control of the vehicle, or is currently controlling the vehicle.

A method comprising: determining, by a processor, whether a control computer associated with a vehicle is ready to autonomously control the vehicle;when the control computer is ready to autonomously control the vehicle, providing a notification to the user that the control computer is engaged and
1. A method comprising: determining, by a processor, whether a control computer associated with a vehicle is ready to autonomously control the vehicle;when the control computer is ready to autonomously control the vehicle, providing a notification to the user that the control computer is engaged and ready to control the vehicle instead of a user;receiving a first input indicating that the user is ready for the vehicle to engage the autonomous driving system;engaging the autonomous driving system upon receiving the first input;monitoring one of a steering wheel, brake pedal, and accelerator of the vehicle for a second input from the user; andreturning control to the user when the control computer has detected the second input is above a pressure threshold. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first input is provided through a press of a button of a user interface of the vehicle. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the notification to the user that the control computer is engaged includes displaying the notification on a display device of the vehicle. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein providing the notification to the user that the control computer is engaged includes playing an audio message. 5. A method comprising: determining whether the control computer is ready to autonomously control the vehicle in an autonomous driving mode;monitoring, by a control computer, one of a steering wheel, brake pedal, and accelerator of the vehicle operating in an autonomous driving mode for an input from a user; andwhen the control computer has detected the input being above a pressure threshold, (1) discontinuing autonomous mode of the vehicle and (2) returning control of the vehicle to the user for operation in a manual driving mode. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising, when the control computer is ready to autonomously control the vehicle, providing a notification to the user that the control computer is engaged and ready to control the vehicle. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein providing the notification to the user that the control computer is engaged includes displaying the notification on a display device of the vehicle. 8. The method of claim 6, wherein providing the notification to the user that the control computer is engaged includes playing an audio message. 9. The method of claim 5, further comprising, receiving a second input indicating that the user is ready for the vehicle to engage an autonomous driving mode; and engaging the autonomous driving mode upon receiving the second input. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the second input is provided through a press of a button of a user interface of the vehicle. 11. A device comprising: a processor configured to:determine whether a control computer associated with a vehicle is ready to autonomously control the vehicle;when the control computer is ready to autonomously control the vehicle, provide a notification to the user that the control computer is engaged and ready to control the vehicle instead of a user;receive a first input indicating that the user is ready for the vehicle to engage the autonomous driving system;engage the autonomous driving system upon receiving the first input;monitor one of a steering wheel, brake pedal, and accelerator of the vehicle for a second input from the user; andreturn control to the user when the control computer has detected the second input is above a pressure threshold. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the first input is provided through a press of a button of a user interface of the vehicle. 13. The system of claim 11, wherein providing the notification to the user that the control computer is engaged includes displaying the notification on a display device of the vehicle. 14. The system of claim 11, wherein providing the notification to the user that the control computer is engaged includes playing an audio message. 15. A system comprising: a control computer configured to:determine whether the control computer is ready to autonomously control a vehicle in an autonomous driving mode;monitor one of a steering wheel, brake pedal, and accelerator of the vehicle operating in an autonomous driving mode for an input from a user; andwhen the control computer has detected the input being above a pressure threshold, (1) discontinuing the autonomous mode of the vehicle and (2) returning control of the vehicle to the user for operation in a manual driving mode. 16. The system of claim 15, wherein the control computer is further configured to, when the control computer is ready to autonomously control the vehicle, provide a notification to the user that the control computer is engaged and ready to control the vehicle. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein providing the notification to the user that the control computer is engaged includes displaying the notification on a display device of the vehicle. 18. The system of claim 16, wherein providing the notification to the user that the control computer is engaged includes playing an audio message. 19. The system of claim 15, wherein the control computer is further configured to: receive a second input indicating that the user is ready for the vehicle to engage an autonomous driving mode; andengage the autonomous driving mode upon receiving the second input. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein the second input is provided through a press of a button of a user interface of the vehicle.
