- Technology companies focusing on driver assistance solutions.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the notification unit determine when to request a switch to a hands-on state? 2. What other types of surroundings information can the recognition unit acquire for vehicle control?
Frequently Updated Research: Research on advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving technologies is continuously evolving, with new developments in vehicle control devices and safety features.
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle control device for a vehicle capable of autonomous driving and manual driving includes a surroundings information recognition unit configured to acquire, in a direction of travel of the vehicle, left and right lane boundaries of a lane, and recognizes information about surroundings of the vehicle, a notification unit configured to provide a notification of a hands-on request for switching from a hands-off state to a hands-on state, and a control determination unit configured to determine controls for the vehicle according to a result of recognition by the surroundings information recognition unit. the control determination unit is configured to determine the control to continue the hands-off state when the left and right lane boundaries are parallel in the hands-off state, and determine the control to provide a notification of the hands-on request when the left and right lane boundaries are not parallel in the hands-off state.
