METHOD OF CONTROLLING SWITCHING TIME TO MANUAL DRIVING MODE OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18127491 titled 'METHOD OF CONTROLLING SWITCHING TIME TO MANUAL DRIVING MODE OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for controlling the time switching to a manual driving mode of an autonomous vehicle based on comparing values of yaw rate, deceleration, and shifting between the autonomous driving route and the driver's manual manipulation.

  • Determining if there is a request to switch to manual driving mode
  • Comparing values of yaw rate, deceleration, and shifting between autonomous driving and manual manipulation
  • Controlling the time switching based on the difference in values

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles to provide a smoother transition between autonomous and manual driving modes.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of ensuring a safe and seamless transition between autonomous and manual driving modes in vehicles.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved safety, better control over the vehicle, and a more comfortable driving experience for the user.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the automotive industry for the development of advanced autonomous driving systems.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing systems that allow for manual control of autonomous vehicles, but without the variable time switching mechanism described in this patent application.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact the overall driving experience for the user?

This technology aims to improve the driving experience by providing a smoother transition between autonomous and manual driving modes, but the specific impact on the user's experience is not detailed in the abstract.

What are the potential limitations or challenges of implementing this technology in autonomous vehicles?

While the abstract describes a method for controlling the time switching to manual driving mode, it does not address any potential limitations or challenges that may arise during the implementation of this technology in autonomous vehicles.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of controlling a time switching to a manual driving mode of an autonomous vehicle includes determining whether there is a request for switching to the manual driving mode, when there is the request, comparing at least one value of yaw rate, deceleration, and shifting in an autonomous driving route with at least one value of yaw rate, deceleration, and shifting by a driver's manual manipulation amount, and according to a size difference between the at least one value of yaw rate, deceleration, and shifting in the autonomous driving route and the at least one value of yaw rate, deceleration, and shifting by the driver's manual manipulation amount, performing a control operation of variably controlling the time switching from the autonomous driving mode to the manual driving mode.
