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.

Abstract: A method for connecting a plurality of insulated wires to each other is provided. Each of the insulated wires has a conductor portion and an insulating coating covering the conductor portion. The insulating coating is made of an insulating material. The method includes stripping the insulating coating of each of the insulated wires to expose the conductor portion such that the insulating coating is removed from a section of the insulated wire along a direction in which the insulated wire extends and at a location away from an end portion of the insulated wire, and connecting the conductor portions of the insulated wires. The connecting includes crimping a crimp joint terminal onto the exposed conductor portions to join the exposed conductor portions, and after the crimping, welding the conductor portions by applying pressure and electric current or ultrasonic vibration to the crimp joint terminal.

Abstract: An electric wire connecting device connects a conductor of an electric wire formed of a plurality of core wires to a terminal. The connecting device includes a pair of clamping members for clamping a part of an end portion of the conductor, and a ultrasonic welding horn for connecting the conductor to the terminal via ultrasonic welding in a state where the end portion of the conductor clamped by the clamping members is placed at the terminal.

Abstract: A structure of an electric wire for connection includes a conductor end portion of the electric wire comprised of a plurality of core wires. The conductor end portion is compressed by press-forming to pressurize from the side of an outer peripheral surface thereof toward the side of the axis thereof. A tapered surface is formed by the press-forming on the outer peripheral surface of at least a tip side of the conductor end portion, which inclines toward a direction crossing an axial direction of the conductor end portion. The conductor end portion on which the tapered surface is formed is electrically connected with a connected portion by ultrasonic joining.

Abstract: In connecting a conductor consisting of a plurality of core lines of an electric wire to a terminal, it is performed to make the core lines, which are adjacent to each other at a peripheral part in a vicinity of an end of the conductor, into contact with each other adhesively and join the end of the conductor to the terminal by pressurized ultrasonic oscillation using a compression-and-vibration horn. In making the adjacent core lines in contact with each other, a metal sleeve may be fitted in an annular manner in the vicinity of the end or the peripheral part of the conductor may be subjected to welding, alternatively.
