DRIVER-ASSISTANCE CONTROL APPARATUS, DRIVER-ASSISTANCE CONTROL METHOD, AND DRIVER-ASSISTANCE CONTROL PROGRAM CRISS REFERENCE TO RELATED DOCUMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18463984 titled 'DRIVER-ASSISTANCE CONTROL APPARATUS, DRIVER-ASSISTANCE CONTROL METHOD, AND DRIVER-ASSISTANCE CONTROL PROGRAM CRISS REFERENCE TO RELATED DOCUMENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a driver-assistance control apparatus that uses information from a selected vehicle in autonomous driving mode as main information and information from external devices as sub-information. The apparatus obtains position information about the selected vehicle, searches for an information source device with position information about the vehicle, and checks if the derived position information is correct.

  • The driver-assistance control apparatus deals with information from a selected vehicle in autonomous driving mode as main information.
  • It also uses information from external devices as sub-information.
  • The apparatus obtains position information about the selected vehicle.
  • It searches for an information source device with position information about the vehicle.
  • It checks if the derived position information from the selected information source device is correct.

Potential Applications

  • Autonomous driving systems
  • Driver-assistance systems
  • Navigation systems

Problems Solved

  • Ensures accurate position information for autonomous driving
  • Reduces reliance on a single source of information
  • Improves the reliability of driver-assistance systems

Benefits

  • Enhanced safety in autonomous driving
  • More reliable navigation and driver-assistance systems
  • Improved decision-making based on accurate position information


Original Abstract Submitted

A driver-assistance control apparatus which deals with information derived from a selected vehicle moving in an autonomous driving mode as essential main information and information derived from a plurality of information source devices disposed outside the selected vehicle as sub-information. The driver-assistance control apparatus obtains position information about the selected vehicle, searches a selected information source device which is one of the information source devices which has position information about the selected vehicle, and checks the position information, as derived from the selected information source device, against position information about the selected vehicle which is correct to determine whether the position information derived from the selected information source device is correct.
