  • Publication number: 20210206393
    Abstract: The autonomous controller includes: a processor configured to control autonomous driving, calculate a safety area, and determine conversion into an autonomous driving mode based on a current location of the driver's seat; and a storage configured to store information about the safety area, data, and an algorithm run by the processor. The processor is configured to convert a manual driving mode into the autonomous driving mode when the current location of the driver's seat is within the safety area or when a request for conversion into the autonomous driving mode is input while driving in the manual driving mode, and move the current location of the driver's seat into the safety area and convert the manual driving mode into the autonomous driving mode when the current location of the driver's seat is not within the safety area.

  • Patent number: 10933883
    Abstract: A driving control apparatus for a vehicle includes: one or more external sensors, one or more vehicle sensors, a steering device, an acceleration/deceleration device, an output device, a communication circuit, and a control circuit. The control circuit detects a failure associated with autonomous driving while the vehicle performs the autonomous driving, outputs the warning signal for a transfer of control of the vehicle by using the output device for a first time interval, when the failure is detected, controls the acceleration/deceleration device for a second time interval after the first time interval to reduce a travel speed of the vehicle to a target speed, and controls the steering device and the acceleration/deceleration device after the second time interval to maintain a travel lane of the vehicle with the travel speed lower than the target speed.

    Abstract: An apparatus for managing a driving lane of a vehicle includes: a processor that generates first route information based on a current lane in which a host vehicle travels when generation of lane-based route information based on a current location of the host vehicle is desired. In particular, the processor generates second route information based on a target lane to which the host vehicle moves when a lane change of the vehicle is desired. And the apparatus further includes a storage that stores the lane-based route information, the first route information and the second route information generated from the processor.
