  • Patent number: 11307591
    Abstract: A vehicle control system includes an acquirer that acquires information that allows recognition of a speed of another vehicle in a travel direction of an own vehicle, a determiner that determines whether or not a low speed section whose travel speed is equal to or less than a first predetermined speed is present in the travel direction of the own vehicle on the basis of the information acquired by the acquirer, and a controller that is able to perform an automated driving mode which is executed at a second predetermined speed or less and that performs predetermined control before the own vehicle reaches the low speed section that has been determined as being present by the determiner.

  • Patent number: 11192554
    Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a nearby information acquirer that acquires nearby information of an own vehicle, an automated driving controller that automatically selects and executes a first automated driving mode in which lane change is at least partially automatically performed and a second automated driving mode in which lane change is not automatically performed on the basis of the nearby information of the own vehicle acquired by the nearby information acquirer, and a notification controller that causes an output unit to output information prompting switching to manual driving at a position before a branch point when a condition is satisfied, the condition including that during execution of the second automated driving mode there is a branch point for entering a branch road from a main line when the own vehicle is traveling along a predetermined route.

  • Publication number: 20180345790
    Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a first display unit configured to display information on a driving support in a vehicle interior, a second display unit configured to display the information on the driving support by projecting an image on a front windshield of a vehicle at a position different from a position of the first display unit, and a display control unit configured to cause the first display unit to display first information on the driving support and cause the second display unit to display second information on the driving support that is simpler than the first information.
