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.

1. A method comprising: receiving, by one or more processors, input at a user input apparatus associated with a steering wheel of a vehicle indicating that a user is ready to relinquish control of the vehicle to a control computer;in response to the input, illuminating, by the one or more processors
1. A method comprising: receiving, by one or more processors, input at a user input apparatus associated with a steering wheel of a vehicle indicating that a user is ready to relinquish control of the vehicle to a control computer;in response to the input, illuminating, by the one or more processors, a portion of the vehicle in a first color to indicate that the control computer is engaged and ready to control the vehicle in an autonomous driving mode; andwhen the control computer begins to control the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode, illuminating, by the one or more processors, the portion of the vehicle in a second color, different from the first color, to indicate that the control computer is controlling the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving second input at a second user input device associated with a brake pedal of the vehicle; andwherein the portion of the vehicle is illuminated in the first color when the input and the second input are received in conjunction with one another. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving second input at a second user input device associated with a brake pedal of the vehicle prior to receiving the input; andin response to the second input, illuminating, by the one or more processors, the portion of the vehicle in the first color;in response to the second input, providing a notification requesting a user to complete the input;wherein the input is received after the notification is provided. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the notification includes an audible message requesting the user to grip the steering wheel. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the notification includes displaying a text message requesting the user to grip the steering wheel. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the portion of the vehicle is associated with a steering wheel of the vehicle. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising: in response to the input, determining whether the control computer is able to control the vehicle safely;when the control computer is not able to control the vehicle safely, not illuminating the portion of the vehicle in the first color to indicate that the control computer is engaged and ready to control the vehicle in an autonomous driving mode. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: determining whether the control computer is ready to control the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode,wherein the portion of the vehicle is illuminated in the first color only when the control computer is ready to control the vehicle in an autonomous driving mode. 9. A system comprising one or more processors configured to: receive input at a user input apparatus associated with a steering wheel of a vehicle indicating that a user is ready to relinquish control of the vehicle to a control computer;in response to the input, illuminate a portion of the vehicle in a first color to indicate that the control computer is engaged and ready to control the vehicle in an autonomous driving mode; andwhen the control computer begins to control the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode, illuminate the portion of the vehicle in a second color, different from the first color, to indicate that the control computer is controlling the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to: receive second input at a second user input device associated with a brake pedal of the vehicle; andwherein the portion of the vehicle is illuminated in the first color when the input and the second input are received in conjunction with one another. 11. The system of claim 9, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to: receive second input at a second user input device associated with a brake pedal of the vehicle prior to receiving the input; andin response to the second input, illuminate, by the one or more processors, the portion of the vehicle in the first color;in response to the second input, provide a notification requesting a user to complete the input;wherein the input is received after the notification is provided. 12. The system of claim 9, wherein the notification includes an audible message requesting the user to grip the steering wheel. 13. The system of claim 9, wherein the notification includes displaying a text message requesting the user to grip the steering wheel. 14. The system of claim 9, wherein the portion of the vehicle is associated with a steering wheel of the vehicle. 15. The system of claim 9, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to: in response to the input, determine whether the control computer is able to control the vehicle safely;when the control computer is not able to control the vehicle safely, not illuminating the portion of the vehicle in the first color to indicate that the control computer is engaged and ready to control the vehicle in an autonomous driving mode. 16. The system of claim 9, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to: determine whether the control computer is ready to control the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode,wherein the portion of the vehicle is illuminated in the first color only when the control computer is ready to control the vehicle in an autonomous driving mode. 17. The system of claim 1, further comprising the vehicle. 18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which computer readable instructions of a program are stored, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising: receiving input at a user input apparatus associated with a steering wheel of a vehicle indicating that a user is ready to relinquish control of the vehicle to a control computer;in response to the input, illuminating a portion of the vehicle in a first color to indicate that the control computer is engaged and ready to control the vehicle in an autonomous driving mode; andwhen the control computer begins to control the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode, illuminating the portion of the vehicle in a second color, different from the first color, to indicate that the control computer is controlling the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode. 19. The medium of claim 18, wherein the method further comprises: receiving second input at a second user input device associated with a brake pedal of the vehicle; andwherein the portion of the vehicle is illuminated in the first color when the input and the second input are received in conjunction with one another. 20. The medium of claim 19, wherein the method further comprises: receiving second input at a second user input device associated with a brake pedal of the vehicle prior to receiving the input; andin response to the second input, illuminating, by the one or more processors, the portion of the vehicle in the first color;in response to the second input, providing a notification requesting a user to complete the input;wherein the input is received after the notification is provided.
