I was under the impression that there would be no power to the driver's station during autonomous time.

From the FIRST Forums...

The transition from the human player mode will be activated by the field control system when all of the pressure sensitive mats have human players on them.

At that time the field control system will send the 'Autonomous Mode' signal and the 'Enable' signal to the Operator Interface.
The 'Autonomous Mode' signal disables all user accessible ports on the Operator Interface while the 'Enable' signal is passed through to the Robot Controller.

The Robot Controller will then begin running the user program. At the end of the Autonomous period the field control system will terminate the 'Autonomous Mode' signal enabling the user accessible ports on the Operator Interface.
