Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an autonomous driving control device that can start autonomous driving without the driver's input and ensure that the driver can switch to manual driving if needed. The device switches from autonomous to manual driving if the driver's input reaches a certain threshold within a specific time after starting autonomous driving. Additionally, if the driver's input exceeds a higher threshold after the specified time, the device also switches to manual driving.


Original Abstract Submitted

An autonomous driving control device is capable of starting an autonomous driving control without an operation of a driver and reducing a possibility that the driver can not start manual driving. An autonomous driving control is switched to manual driving when a determination section determines that the amount of operation by the driver is equal to or greater than a first threshold, before a predetermined time elapses since the autonomous driving control is automatically started. An autonomous driving control is switched to a manual driving when the determination section determines that the amount of operation by the driver is equal to or greater than a second threshold that is greater than the first threshold, after the predetermined time elapses.
