AUTONOMOUS CONTROLLER, VEHICLE SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18492538 titled 'AUTONOMOUS CONTROLLER, VEHICLE SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The autonomous controller described in the patent application is a system that can determine whether to enable autonomous driving mode or switch to manual driving mode based on the position of the driver's seat.

• The processor in the system controls the decision to enable autonomous driving mode, restrict position adjustment of the driver's seat, or hand over control authority based on the movement position of the driver's seat or the angle of the backrest.
• The system includes a storage component for data and an algorithm run by the processor to make these decisions.

• • Potential Applications:**
• Automotive industry for autonomous driving vehicles
• Transportation services for self-driving cars
• Safety features in vehicles to prevent accidents

• • Problems Solved:**
• Ensuring safe transitions between autonomous and manual driving modes
• Preventing distractions while driving by restricting seat adjustments
• Improving overall driving experience and comfort for the driver

• • Benefits:**
• Enhanced safety features in vehicles
• Seamless transition between autonomous and manual driving modes
• Improved driver comfort and convenience

Original Abstract Submitted

The autonomous controller includes: a processor configured to control autonomous driving and determines whether to enable an autonomous driving mode or to convert the autonomous driving mode into a manual driving mode based on a current position of the driver's seat; and a storage configured to store data and an algorithm run by the processor. The processor controls at least one of whether to enable an autonomous driving mode, whether to restrict position adjustment of the driver's seat, or whether to hand over control authority based on a movement position in a forward or backward direction of the driver's seat or an angle of the backrest of the driver's seat.
