CONTROLLING DRIVING CONDITION COMPONENTS OF AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE BASED ON A CURRENT DRIVING MODE AND CURRENT CONDITIONS

A method for controlling a driving condition component of an autonomous vehicle is presented. The method includes determining whether current conditions would limit a driver's visibility. The method also includes predicting whether the driver will enable a manual mode during the current conditions. The method further includes controlling the driving condition component to mitigate the current conditions prior to the driver enabling the manual mode.
