==METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE DRIVING MODE SWITCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18157617 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE DRIVING MODE SWITCHING

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method for determining if a road section is suitable for automated driving and alerting the driver to take control if it is not. Here are the key points:

* Obtaining environment information from a second vehicle traveling in a target road section.
* Predicting the suitability of the target road section for automated driving based on the environment information.
* If the target road section is unsuitable for automated driving and the first vehicle is in automated driving mode, alerting the driver to take over control.
* Switching the first vehicle from automated driving mode to manual driving mode.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Autonomous vehicles: This method can be used in autonomous vehicles to assess the suitability of road sections for automated driving and ensure driver intervention when necessary.
* Advanced driver assistance systems: The method can be integrated into advanced driver assistance systems to provide real-time information about road conditions and prompt drivers to take control if needed.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Ensuring driver attentiveness: By alerting the driver to take over control when a road section is unsuitable for automated driving, this method helps prevent accidents or unsafe situations caused by the driver not being attentive.
* Improving safety: By accurately predicting the suitability of road sections for automated driving, this method helps avoid potential hazards and ensures that the driver is in control when necessary.

Benefits of this technology:

* Enhanced automation reliability: The method improves the reliability of automated driving systems by continuously monitoring the suitability of road sections and prompting driver intervention when needed.
* Increased safety: By ensuring that the driver is aware and ready to take control, this method enhances overall safety and reduces the risk of accidents or incidents during automated driving.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method includes: obtaining environment information detected by a second vehicle, where the second vehicle is a vehicle traveling in a target road section, and the target road section is a road section located in front of a traveling direction of a first vehicle; predicting, based on the environment information detected by the second vehicle, whether the target road section is suitable for automated driving; and if the target road section is unsuitable for automated driving and the first vehicle is currently in an automated driving mode, reminding a driver of the first vehicle to take over a driving control right of the first vehicle, so that the first vehicle is switched from the automated driving mode to a manual driving mode.
