1. A processor-implemented method for controlling a driving mode of a self-driving vehicle (SDV), the computer-implemented method comprising: detecting, by one or more processors, that an SDV is being operated in manual mode by a human driver; determining, by one or more processors, that the human driver is unqualified to operate the SDV in manual mode; and in response to determining that the human driver is unqualified to operate the SDV in manual mode, transferring, by one or more processors, control of the SDV to an SDV on-board computer to place the SDV in autonomous mode.
