A method for controlling a vehicle in a first autonomy mode, comprising a step of disregarding a command from an occupant to perform an action interfering with an ability of the occupant to either see a field of travel of a vehicle or provide input to the vehicle. The autonomy mode controls the steering and propulsion or braking. Preferably, a second autonomy mode obeys the driver commands. Actions to be overridden include deactivating windscreen wipers when precipitation is detected, deactivating headlights below a specified intensity threshold, reclining a seat past an angular threshold, adjusting a steering wheel position, unbuckling a driver seatbelt, or opening a driver door. The first autonomy mode may be deactivated based on a driving environment. A further step may involve deactivating the first autonomy mode in response to the command, or stopping the vehicle in response to the command.
