VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18470651 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle control system that includes an autonomous driving control system and a safety control system. The safety control system communicates with the autonomous driving control system and stops the vehicle in case of failure or abnormal communication.
- Autonomous driving control system: Controls autonomous driving of the vehicle.
- Safety control system: Communicates with the autonomous driving control system and stops the vehicle in case of failure or abnormal communication.
- Failure notification: The safety control system notifies the autonomous driving control system of the failure when a part of its function fails.
- Traveling route setting: The autonomous driving control system sets a traveling route to a destination during autonomous driving based on the failure information.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in autonomous vehicles, self-driving cars, and transportation systems.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures safety in autonomous driving by stopping the vehicle in case of failure. 2. Improves communication between the safety control system and the autonomous driving control system.
Benefits
1. Enhanced safety for passengers and pedestrians. 2. Efficient autonomous driving with route adjustments based on failures.
Potential Commercial Applications
1. Automotive industry for autonomous vehicles. 2. Transportation companies for self-driving fleets.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to vehicle control systems with safety mechanisms, but specific examples are not provided in this abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does the safety control system communicate with the autonomous driving control system?
The abstract does not detail the specific communication methods used between the safety control system and the autonomous driving control system.
What types of failures can trigger the safety control system to stop the vehicle?
The abstract does not specify the types of failures that can lead to the safety control system stopping the vehicle.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle control system. The vehicle control system includes an autonomous driving control system that controls autonomous driving of the vehicle, and a safety control system that communicates with the autonomous driving control system and stops the vehicle when the autonomous driving control system fails or when communication is abnormal. The safety control system notifies the autonomous driving control system of the contents of the failure when a failure of a part of the function of the safety control system occurs. The autonomous driving control system sets a traveling route to a destination during the autonomous driving in accordance with the contents of the failure.
