==CONTROLLER - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240239381 titled 'CONTROLLER

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
The patent application describes a controller that can switch between autonomous driving control and manual driving control based on the driver's speed control operation while avoiding obstacles.

* The controller determines if the driver has performed a speed control operation while the vehicle is avoiding obstacles under autonomous driving control.
* If the driver has performed a speed control operation, the controller switches the speed control from automatic to manual while continuing automatic steering control.

'''Key Features and Innovation:'''
* Autonomous driving control with the ability to switch to manual control for speed based on driver input.
* Seamless transition between autonomous and manual driving modes.
* Enhanced safety features for obstacle avoidance while allowing driver intervention for speed control.

'''Potential Applications:'''
The technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, transportation systems, and driver assistance systems.

'''Problems Solved:'''
* Ensures driver involvement in speed control during critical situations.
* Enhances safety by combining autonomous and manual driving controls effectively.

'''Benefits:'''
* Improved safety during obstacle avoidance.
* Flexibility for drivers to control speed when needed.
* Enhanced user experience with a seamless transition between driving modes.

'''Commercial Applications:'''
The technology can be utilized in autonomous vehicles, fleet management systems, and transportation services to enhance safety and driver control.

'''Prior Art:'''
Prior research in autonomous vehicle control systems and driver assistance technologies may provide insights into similar approaches to combining autonomous and manual driving controls.

'''Frequently Updated Research:'''
Stay updated on advancements in autonomous vehicle technology, driver assistance systems, and safety features for vehicles.

'''Questions about Autonomous Driving Control Switching Technology:'''
1. How does the controller determine when to switch from autonomous to manual speed control?
2. What are the potential implications of this technology on the future of autonomous driving systems?

'''Question 1:'''
How does the controller determine when to switch from autonomous to manual speed control?

'''Answer 1:'''
The controller determines the switch based on the driver's speed control operation while the vehicle is avoiding obstacles under autonomous driving control. If the driver intervenes in speed control, the system switches to manual control for speed while maintaining automatic steering control.

'''Question 2:'''
What are the potential implications of this technology on the future of autonomous driving systems?

'''Answer 2:'''
This technology could lead to improved safety and driver engagement in autonomous vehicles, setting a precedent for seamless integration of autonomous and manual driving controls in future transportation systems.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a controller that switches between (i) autonomous driving control for causing a vehicle to travel by automatically controlling the steering and speed of the vehicle and (ii) manual driving control in which the steering and speed are controlled by a driver's operation, the controller includes: a determination part that determines whether a speed control operation for controlling the speed has been performed by the driver while an obstacle preventing the vehicle from traveling is being avoided under the autonomous driving control; and a control switching part that switches the automatic control of the speed included in the autonomous driving control to the manual control and continues the automatic control of the steering when it is determined that the speed control operation has been performed.
