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 includes a processor and storage to control autonomous driving based on the position of the driver's seat.
- Processor controls whether to enable autonomous driving mode
- Processor determines whether to convert autonomous driving mode to manual mode based on driver's seat position
- Processor may restrict position adjustment of driver's seat
- Processor may hand over control authority based on movement position of driver's seat or angle of backrest

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.
