An autonomous vehicle and an occupant attention-based control method are provided. Signals are received from a plurality of data collectors 110, representing aspects of the vehicle 101, a vehicle operator, and an environment surrounding the vehicle 101. An alertness factor and a readiness factor are developed based on the signals, and input to a computing device 105. Control of the vehicle 101 is transitioned between levels of autonomous control, which may include an autonomous, a semi-autonomous and a manual level of control, based at least in part on the alertness factor and the readiness factor.
