1. A computer-implemented method for operating an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle, comprising, during operation of the vehicle:
receiving, by a processor, operating data related to an autonomous operation feature of the vehicle, the operating data indicating a current operating environment of the vehicle;
receiving, by the processor, a request to disable the autonomous operation feature;
determining, by the processor and based on the operating data,
a first risk level associated with operating the vehicle, in the current operating environment, under control of the autonomous operation feature, and
a second risk level associated with operating the vehicle, in the current operating environment, under control of an operator;
in response to the request, and based on the first risk level and the second risk level, determining, by the processor, whether to disable the autonomous operation feature; and
causing, by the processor, a display carried by the vehicle to provide an output indicating whether to disable the autonomous operation feature.
