Aspects of the present disclosure relate switching between autonomous and manual driving modes. In order to do so, the vehicle's computer may conduct a series of environmental, system, and driver checks to identify certain conditions. The computer may correct some of these conditions and also provide a driver with a checklist of tasks for completion. Once the tasks have been completed and the conditions are changed, the computer may allow the driver to switch from the manual to the autonomous driving mode. The computer may also make a determination, under certain conditions, that it would be detrimental to the driver's safety or comfort to make a switch from the autonomous driving mode to the manual driving mode.

1. A method comprising: receiving, by one or more processors, user input requesting that the one or more processors activate an autonomous driving mode of a vehicle;in response to receiving the request, using, by the one or more processors, protocol data to assess (i) the status of the vehicle's env
1. A method comprising: receiving, by one or more processors, user input requesting that the one or more processors activate an autonomous driving mode of a vehicle;in response to receiving the request, using, by the one or more processors, protocol data to assess (i) the status of the vehicle's environment, (ii) the vehicle, and systems of the vehicle, and (iii) a user of the vehicle;generating, by the one or more processors, a set of tasks based on the assessments wherein at least one task of the set of tasks is one that may be performed by a driver to change the condition;selecting, by the one or more processors, as a first task of the set of tasks based on a priority of the tasks;displaying, by the one or more processors, to the user of the vehicle an instruction to complete the first task of the set of tasks; andupon determining that all of the tasks of the set of tasks including the first task of the set of tasks, are completed, controlling, by the one or more processors, the vehicle in an autonomous driving mode. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the assessments includes determining whether the current or future weather would make autonomous driving unsafe. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the assessments includes determining whether data received from the sensors of the detection system agrees with the corresponding detailed map information. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the assessments includes determining whether the vehicle is currently driving in an area pre-approved for initiating the autonomous driving mode. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the assessments includes determining whether the vehicle can be driving in the autonomous driving mode for a minimum period of time before a switch to a manual mode is required. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the assessments includes determining whether the vehicle has met a minimum maintenance standard. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the assessments includes determining whether the vehicle's automatic wipers are currently on. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first task of the set of tasks includes buckling a seatbelt of an occupant of the vehicle. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising performing, by the one or more processors, any of the tasks of the set of tasks which can be fully completed by the one or more processors. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising, before activating the autonomous driving but after the first task of the set of tasks has been completed, reassessing, by the one or more processors, the priority of any remaining tasks of the set of tasks by: using the protocol data to reassess (i) the status of the vehicle's environment, (ii) the vehicle, and systems of the vehicle, and (iii) a user of the vehicle; andreconfiguring the set of tasks based on one or more of the reassessments. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the first task of the set of tasks includes closing a door of the vehicle through which an occupant enters the vehicle. 12. A system comprising one or more computing devices having one or more processors configured to: receive user input requesting that the one or more processors activate an autonomous driving mode of a vehicle;in response to receiving the request, use protocol data to assess (i) the status of the vehicle's environment, (ii) the vehicle, and systems of the vehicle, and (iii) a user of the vehicle;generate a set of tasks based on the assessments wherein at least one task of the set of tasks is one that may be performed by a driver to change the condition;select as a first task of the set of tasks based on a priority of the tasks;display to the user of the vehicle an instruction to complete the first task of the set of tasks;upon determining that all of the tasks of the set of tasks, including the first task, are completed, control the vehicle in the autonomous driving mode. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein at least one of the assessments includes determining whether the current or future weather would make autonomous driving unsafe. 14. The system of claim 12, wherein at least one of the assessments includes determining whether data received from the sensors of the detection system agrees with the corresponding detailed map information. 15. The system of claim 12, wherein at least one of the assessments includes determining whether the vehicle is currently driving in an area pre-approved for initiating the autonomous driving mode. 16. The system of claim 12, wherein at least one of the assessments includes determining whether the vehicle has met a minimum maintenance standard. 17. The system of claim 12, wherein at least one of the assessments includes determining whether the vehicle's automatic wipers are currently on. 18. The system of claim 12, wherein the first task of the set of tasks includes buckling a seatbelt of an occupant of the vehicle. 19. The system of claim 12, further comprising performing, by the one or more processors, any of the tasks of the set of tasks which can be fully completed by the one or more processors. 20. The system of claim 12, wherein the first task of the set of tasks includes closing a door of the vehicle through which an occupant enters the vehicle.
