1. A method for transition between driving modes of a vehicle, the driving modes comprising an autonomous driving (AD) mode, a partly autonomous driving (PAD) mode and a manual driving (MD) mode, the method comprising:
(i) performing a transition from the partly autonomous driving (PAD) mode to the autonomous driving (AD) mode by enabling the autonomous driving (AD) mode; (ii) performing a transition from the autonomous driving (AD) mode to the partly autonomous driving (PAD) mode by releasing a steering wheel lock when the partly autonomous driving (PAD) mode is in an enabled state; (iii) performing a transition from the manual driving (MD) mode to the autonomous driving (AD) mode by enabling the autonomous driving (AD) mode; and (iv) performing a transition from the autonomous driving (AD) mode to the manual driving (MD) mode by releasing the steering wheel lock when the partly autonomous driving (PAD) mode is in a disabled state; wherein releasing the steering wheel lock in (ii) and/or (iv) comprises (a) disabling the autonomous driving (AD) mode or selecting deactivation, and within a predefined time interval performing at least one action selected from holding a steering wheel, activating a confirmation switch and/or performing a normal driving action, the normal driving action comprising to brake, to steer and/or to accelerate, or (b) performing a firm driving action, the firm driving action comprising to brake, to steer and/or to accelerate, the firm driving action being more forceful than the normal driving action, such as pressing a pedal harder or turning the steering wheel more quickly. |
