Systems and methods for navigating a vehicle

An autonomous system for selectively displacing human driver control of a host vehicle, the system comprising:

• at least one processing device programmed to:
• receive, from an image capture device, at least one image representative of an environment of the host vehicle;
• detect at least one obstacle in the environment of the host vehicle based on an analysis of the at least one image;
• monitor a driver input to at least one of a throttle control, a brake control, or a steering control associated with the host vehicle;
• determine whether the driver input would result in the host vehicle navigating within a proximity buffer relative to the at least one obstacle;
• allow the driver input to cause a corresponding change in one or more host vehicle motion control systems, if the at least one processing device determines that the driver input would not result in the host vehicle navigating within the proximity buffer relative to the at least one obstacle;
• and
• prevent the driver input from causing the corresponding change in the one or more host vehicle motion control systems, if the at least one processing device determines that the driver input would result in the host vehicle navigating within the proximity buffer relative to the at least one obstacle.

An autonomous system for selectively displacing human driver control of a host vehicle, the system including a computer-readable non-transient memory storing instructions that when executed by a processor result in operations comprising:

• receiving, from an image capture device, at least one image representative of an environment of the host vehicle;
• detecting at least one obstacle in the environment of the host vehicle based on an analysis of the at least one image;
• monitoring a driver input to at least one of a throttle control, a brake control, or a steering control associated with the host vehicle;
