METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SWITCHING OF STEERING CONTROL RIGHTS OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

A method for controlling switching of steering control rights of an autonomous vehicle, may include: when switching of the steering control rights from an automated driving mode to a manual driving mode is requested, performing a control to synchronize a steering angle of a steering wheel and a steering angle of a road wheel; when a hands-on state in which the steering wheel is gripped is detected in the synchronization process, detecting an error value between the steering angle of the steering wheel and the steering angle of the road wheel; and when the error value is less than a preset value, performing a control to switch the mode of the autonomous vehicle to the manual driving mode.
