Abstract:
A computer-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product controls a driving mode of a self-driving vehicle (SDV). One or more processors compare a control processor competence level of an on-board SDV control processor in controlling the SDV to a human driver competence level of a human driver in controlling the SDV while the SDV encounters a current roadway condition which is a result of current weather conditions of the roadway on which the SDV is currently traveling. One or more processors then selectively assign control of the SDV to the SDV control processor or to the human driver while the SDV encounters the current roadway condition based on which of the control processor competence level and the human driver competence level is relatively higher to one another.

Claim (Index 4):
The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n retrieving, by one or more processors, driver profile information about the human driver of the SDV; assigning, by one or more processors, the human driver of the SDV to a cohort of drivers traveling on the roadway in multiple other SDVs, wherein the human driver of the SDV shares more than a predetermined quantity of traits with members of the cohort of drivers; retrieving, by one or more processors, traffic pattern data for the multiple other SDVs being driven by the cohort of drivers while traveling on the roadway; examining, by one or more processors, the traffic pattern data to determine a record of accidents for the multiple other SDVs traveling on the roadway while being driven by the cohort of drivers; and determining, by one or more processors, the human driver competence level based on the record of accidents for the multiple other SDVs traveling on the roadway while being driven by the cohort of drivers.
