dynamic function allocation

Dynamic function allocation is about changing who does what (function allocation) between computer(s) and human(s) depending on the situation. For example, a semi-autonomous car may be able to drive within lanes on a major highway in normal conditions, but the driver may need to take over if the system detects an unusual situation ahead. The change may be initiated by the human user, for example, engaging cruise control, of by the system, for exmape if the in-car system detected the driver had collapsed. A crucial design issue for such systems is managing the handover when the change is from system to human control.
