METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DRIVING MODE TRANSITION OF AUTONOMOUS DRIVING VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18078515 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DRIVING MODE TRANSITION OF AUTONOMOUS DRIVING VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for controlling a driving mode transition of an autonomous driving vehicle to safely perform a lane change to avoid a collision accident with another vehicle while minimizing the driver's sense of heterogeneity by minimizing rotational steering of the steering wheel. This is achieved by determining if the other vehicle in the next lane suddenly cuts in while the autonomous driving vehicle is in manual driving mode, and adjusting the safety distance from a rear vehicle to minimize rotational steering of the steering wheel. Additionally, partial braking control is performed by autonomous driving mode transition control using an autonomous driving controller.

  • Method for controlling driving mode transition of autonomous driving vehicle
  • Safely perform lane change to avoid collision accident with another vehicle
