A system (10) for operating a vehicle includes an object-detector (20), and operator-monitor (24), and a controller (30). The object-detector (20) is used to detect one or more targets (22) proximate to a host-vehicle (12), said host-vehicle (12) operable in an autonomous-mode (14) and a manual-mode (16). The operator-monitor (24) is used to detect a gaze-direction (26) of an operator (18) of the host-vehicle (12). The controller-circuit (30) is in communication with the object-detector (20) and the operator-monitor (24). The controller-circuit (30) is configured to determine a classification (42) of each target (22) detected by the object-detector (20). The classification (42) includes a primary-target (44) and an ignored-target (46). The controller-circuit (30) is further configured to determine that a hand-over (40) of operation of the host-vehicle (12) from the autonomous-mode (14) to the manual-mode (16) is recommended, perform a verification (60) that the operator (18) has gazed at each primary-target (44) more recently than a primary-time (62), and in response to the verification (60), execute the hand-over (40).
