A vehicle alert system includes a processor programmed to receive a handoff or take over request indicating a transition of a host vehicle from an autonomous mode of operation to a non-autonomous or manual mode of operation. The processor is further programmed to output a notification signal in response to receiving the handoff request. A vehicle component is configured to deliver an electrical current or electric shock to a vehicle driver in response to the notification signal. The vehicle component may be a steering wheel 165, which has two electrically conductive leads 175, 180 which are spaced apart from each other. The steering wheel may have touch sensors 120 which detect whether a right and left hand of the driver is in physical contact with the wheel. The system may allow transition to the manual mode of operation if both hands are in contact with the wheel. If both hands are not in contact, the system may send the notification signal to another component, which may be a light, speaker or seat (Fig.4, 185).
