Abstract: A system and method to confirm and mitigate a malfunction of a sensor used for adaptive cruise control (ACC) in a vehicle involve identifying the malfunction of the sensor. The method also includes determining a counter threshold value that defines a duration for which recovery of the sensor is awaited, and performing an iterative process to determine if the sensor has recovered. A number of iterations of the iterative process is determined by the counter threshold value. The method also includes confirming the malfunction of the sensor based on the number of iterations exceeding the counter threshold value without a determination that the sensor has recovered, and inhibiting the ACC based on the confirming the malfunction.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for navigation of a vehicle. In one embodiment, a navigation system includes: a map database, and a navigation processor. The map database includes a map layer of autonomous road data, and at least one other layer of map data. The navigation processor is configured to determine a route for a vehicle to a destination preferring use of autonomous roads according to a setting for preferring use of autonomous roads and based on the map layer of autonomous road data and the at least other layer of map data; and display a display map for a vehicle through a navigation display unit including highlighting autonomous roads on the navigation display unit, based on the map layer of autonomous road data, together with the at least one other layer of map data.
