Shared Control Definition: In the case where both computer and human are working on the same task at the same time, we call this Sharing Control [2]

Strategies for SC Indirect Shared Control: - Driver influences the controller - MPC is well suitable - Steer by wire systems

Future Work - From the total of driver-caused accidents, 41% were due to driver recognition errors, such as distraction or inattention [1]. - Authority transition based on driver status - Define variables to take decisions - Design controllers and torque feedback for best performance
