1. A system comprising:
a computing device operably coupled with a vehicle including:
a processor; and
computer-readable media configured to store computer-executable instructions configured to cause the processor to:
detect that an autosteering system of the vehicle is engaged;
select between a default threshold and an adjusted threshold different from the default threshold based on whether a predetermined condition associated with the vehicle is detected;
detect a level of force applied by an operator to a steering wheel of the vehicle; and
disengage the autosteering system based on the level of force exceeding the adjusted threshold in response to the predetermined condition being detected or exceeding the default threshold in response to the predetermined condition not being detected, wherein the predetermined condition includes engagement of a release input indicating that the operator intends to make a manual steering change in combination with a secondary condition that the release input is engaged in a same direction as the level of force applied to the steering wheel.
