No, both cases are fundamentally different. If a human driver has intervened, the system should expect the human wants to take over all subsystems: braking, steering, accelerating. If the AEB has intervened, the system should expect it will take over only the braking, and only for a limited amount of time; it shouldn't relinquish control (and doesn't have to, since a properly-designed AEB will be an override of the braking control), and should be ready to take over immediately after it releases (and probably bring the car to a safe stop as soon as it has control back).
That is, the self-driving system must know whether the command came from the human driver, or from another system.
- alistairSH 9y agoSteering input sensed, give up steering control. Brake input sensed, give up brake control. I'm not convinced the two should be linked in any way, human driver or AEB or whatever else. If the human is taking evasive action, the auto-drive is getting input from all the available sensors. This shouldn't be that hard (relative to the other challenges being faced).
