(54) Title: VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM (57) : Systems and methods for controlling a failover re- sponse of an autonomous vehicle are provided. In one example em- bodiment, a method includes determining, by one or more comput- ing devices on-board an autonomous vehicle, an operational mode of the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle is configured to operate in at least a first operational mode in which a human dri- ver is present in the autonomous vehicle and a second operational mode in which the human driver is not present in the autonomous vehicle. The method includes detecting a triggering event associat- ed with the autonomous vehicle. The method includes determining actions to be performed by the autonomous vehicle in response to the triggering event based at least in part on the operational mode. The method includes providing one or more control signals to one or more of the systems on-board the autonomous vehicle to perform the one or more actions in response to the triggering event.
