  • Publication number: 20240343260
    Abstract: An intervention operation determination apparatus includes: a steering unit operated by a driver; a steering wheel to be turned in conjunction with the operation of the steering unit; and a detection unit that detects an operation amount of the steering unit when a steering force that turns the steering wheel is generated. The intervention operation determination apparatus determines that the driver has operated the steering unit during autonomous driving in which traveling by controlling an actuator without an operation of the steering unit by the driver is performed. The intervention operation determination apparatus further includes a controller that controls the actuator. The controller determines that there has been an intervention operation in which the driver operates the steering unit based on a deviation between a target steering angle in the autonomous driving and an actual steering angle based on an operation amount detected by the detection unit.
