Abstract: A device includes: a reference confidence degree calculation unit configured to calculate a reference confidence degree in estimating the position of the host vehicle at a candidate passing position of the host vehicle set in advance based on the position information on the object on the map; a shield information acquisition unit configured to acquire shield information based on a result of detection; a shielding influence degree calculation unit configured to calculate a shielding influence degree in estimating the position of the host vehicle at the candidate passing position based on the shield information; and a confidence degree calculation unit configured to calculate a confidence degree in estimating the position of the host vehicle at the candidate passing position based on the reference confidence degree and the shielding influence degree.

Abstract: An autonomous driving control system for a vehicle which is able to switch between manual driving and autonomous driving is provided with a driver condition sensor, acting part, and electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is provided with an autonomous driving control part, reliance calculating part for calculating an autonomous driving output reliance, vigilance calculating part for calculating a driver vigilance, and an action control part for controlling a strength of an action against a driver. In a region in which an operating point determined by the autonomous driving output reliance and driver vigilance can fall, a plurality of sub regions are defined by boundary lines extending so that the driver vigilance becomes higher as the autonomous driving output reliance becomes lower. The action control part controls the strength of the action against the driver to differ in accordance with the sub region in which the operating point falls.

Abstract: A system for presenting information to an occupant of a vehicle mounted with an autonomous driving system, includes: a display unit configured to display the information; a display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display information in any one of display modes among a setting status display mode in which setting information is displayed, an operation status display mode in which travel information is displayed, and a recognition status display mode in which recognition result information of the autonomous driving system is displayed; and an acquisition unit configured to acquire an occupant's display mode switching instruction for switching the display mode, wherein the display control unit configured to switch the display mode of the display unit when the acquisition unit acquires the occupant's display mode switching instruction.
