  • Patent number: 11492016
    Abstract: A method for controlling autonomous driving in an autonomous vehicle includes detecting a situation in which autonomous driving is impossible while the vehicle operates in an autonomous driving mode, outputting a control-right handover request warning alarm and then activating a minimal risk maneuver driving mode, determining a human driver gaze validity based on the detected situation, determining a human driver intervention validity upon determination that the human driver gaze is valid, and determining control-right handover of the autonomous vehicle based on the human driver intervention validity. Thus, the control-right may be reliably transferred from a system to a human driver.

  • 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.
