VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240116499 titled 'VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The vehicle control device described in the patent application is a system that enables autopilot control of a vehicle to maintain a safe lateral distance from objects in front of the vehicle that are outside the driving lane. The device includes a type determination unit that identifies the type of object based on data from a front sensor, and a driving control unit that adjusts the lateral speed during autopilot control based on the type of object detected.
- The vehicle control device enables autopilot control of a vehicle to maintain a safe lateral distance from objects in front of the vehicle that are outside the driving lane.
- The device includes a type determination unit that identifies the type of object based on data from a front sensor.
- A driving control unit adjusts the lateral speed during autopilot control based on the type of object detected.

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, self-driving cars, and other automated driving systems to enhance safety and efficiency on the road.
Problems Solved
This technology helps to prevent collisions with objects outside the driving lane by adjusting the vehicle's lateral speed during autopilot control.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved safety, reduced risk of accidents, and enhanced control over the vehicle's movements in complex driving situations.
Potential Commercial Applications
Commercial applications of this technology could include integration into autonomous vehicle systems, self-driving taxi services, and fleet management solutions.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing autopilot systems in autonomous vehicles that focus on maintaining safe distances from objects in front of the vehicle.
Unanswered Questions
== How does the device differentiate between different types of objects detected by the front sensor? The patent application does not provide specific details on how the type determination unit distinguishes between different types of objects detected by the front sensor. Further information on the algorithms or criteria used for this differentiation would be helpful.
== What measures are in place to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the front sensor data? The patent application does not address the calibration or validation processes for the front sensor data. Understanding how the device verifies the accuracy and reliability of the sensor data would be important for assessing the overall effectiveness of the system.
Original Abstract Submitted
the vehicle control device is a vehicle control device that executes autopilot control of a vehicle for securing a lateral distance between an object existing within a predetermined distance from the driving lane and in front of the vehicle outside the driving lane of the vehicle that is the autonomous vehicle. the vehicle control device includes a type determination unit that determines a type of an object based on a detected result of a front sensor mounted on the vehicle, and a driving control unit that changes a target lateral speed in the autopilot control according to the type of the object.
