AUTONOMOUS DRIVING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17957980 titled 'AUTONOMOUS DRIVING METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for autonomous driving that involves receiving information about a road section ahead and a parking waiting area, determining if the road section meets the requirements for autonomous driving, and controlling the vehicle to drive into the parking waiting area if it does not meet the requirements.

  • The method receives information about a road section and a parking waiting area.
  • It determines if the road section meets the requirements for autonomous driving.
  • If the road section does not meet the requirements, the vehicle is controlled to drive into the parking waiting area.

Potential Applications

  • Autonomous driving systems in vehicles
  • Traffic management systems
  • Smart city infrastructure

Problems Solved

  • Ensures safe and efficient autonomous driving by determining if a road section meets the requirements for autonomous driving.
  • Provides a solution for parking the vehicle in a waiting area if the road section does not meet the requirements.

Benefits

  • Enhances safety by preventing autonomous driving in road sections that do not meet the requirements.
  • Optimizes traffic flow by efficiently managing the parking waiting areas.
  • Improves overall driving experience by automating the process of finding suitable parking waiting areas.


Original Abstract Submitted

An autonomous driving method, an autonomous driving apparatus, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product are provided. The method includes: receiving first driving-related information of a first road section ahead of a road on which a first vehicle currently drives and information about a parking waiting area that are sent by a network side device, where the parking waiting area is used to park the first vehicle before the first vehicle drives into the first road section (S); then determining, based on the first driving-related information, that the first road section does not meet an autonomous driving condition requirement of the first vehicle (S); finally, controlling the first vehicle to drive into the parking waiting area (S).
