- if only Assumption I is implicitq
- if only Assumption II is implicit
- If either assumption I or II is implicit
- if neither assumption I nor II is implicit

The driver does not have control on what the auto driver will do. Hence, I is invalid. But II is a valid assumption because if one takes an action he assumes its outcome.
