AUTONOMOUS DRIVING VEHICLE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18485485 titled 'AUTONOMOUS DRIVING VEHICLE SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The system described in the patent application includes an acquisition unit that measures an operation amount or a duration count, and a switching unit that changes the driving state of the system. The switching unit changes the driving state to the cooperative driving state when the operation amount is equal to or greater than an intervention threshold but less than a start threshold, or when the duration count is equal to or greater than a first threshold but less than a second threshold during the autonomous driving state. It changes the driving state to the autonomous driving state when the operation amount is less than the intervention threshold or the duration count is less than the first threshold during the cooperative driving state. Finally, it changes the driving state to the manual driving state when the operation amount is equal to or greater than the start threshold or the duration count is equal to or greater than the second threshold.
- The system includes an acquisition unit that measures an operation amount or a duration count.
- The switching unit changes the driving state to the cooperative driving state under specific conditions.
- The switching unit changes the driving state to the autonomous driving state under specific conditions.
- The switching unit changes the driving state to the manual driving state under specific conditions.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Autonomous vehicles: The system can be used in autonomous vehicles to switch between different driving states based on the operation amount and duration count.
- Driver assistance systems: The technology can be applied in driver assistance systems to provide different levels of assistance based on the driving state.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved safety: The system allows for seamless transitions between different driving states, ensuring that the vehicle operates in the most appropriate mode based on the operation amount and duration count.
- Enhanced user experience: By automatically switching between driving states, the system provides a smoother and more comfortable driving experience for the user.
Benefits of this technology:
- Efficient driving: The system optimizes the driving mode based on real-time measurements, leading to more efficient use of resources and improved fuel economy.
- Flexibility: The ability to switch between different driving states allows for greater flexibility in adapting to changing road conditions and user preferences.

A system includes an acquisition unit that acquires an operation amount or a duration count, and a switching unit that switches a driving state. The switching unit switches the driving state to the cooperative driving state when the operation amount is equal to or greater than an intervention threshold and less than a start threshold or the duration count is equal to or greater than a first threshold and less than a second threshold during the autonomous driving state, switches the driving state to the autonomous driving state when the operation amount is less than the intervention threshold or the duration count is less than the first threshold during the cooperative driving state, and switches the driving state to the manual driving state when the operation amount is equal to or greater than the start threshold or the duration count is equal to or greater than the second threshold.
