This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18215612 titled 'METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MOBILE VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the patent application involves controlling a mobile vehicle by selecting a control mode for autonomous driving and transmitting this information to the vehicle. The control mode includes a first mode and a second mode, with the second mode having stricter driving safety restrictions.

  • The method involves determining if remote support is needed for the vehicle.
  • If remote support is not required, the first mode is selected as the control mode.
  • If remote support is needed, the second mode is selected as the control mode.
    • Potential Applications:**

- Autonomous driving systems - Remote control of vehicles - Safety systems for mobile vehicles

    • Problems Solved:**

- Ensuring driving safety in autonomous vehicles - Providing remote support for vehicles in need of assistance

    • Benefits:**

- Improved safety for autonomous driving - Efficient use of remote support resources - Flexibility in control modes for different situations


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for controlling a mobile vehicle comprises the steps of selecting a control mode for autonomous driving of the mobile vehicle and transmitting information on the selected control mode to the mobile vehicle. The control mode includes a first mode and a second mode of which a restriction on a driving safety is stricter than that of the first mode. The step of selecting the control mode comprises the steps of determining whether a remote support for the mobile vehicle is required, and selecting the first mode as the control mode when it is determined that the remote support is not required whereas selecting the second mode as the control mode when it is determined that the remote support is required.
