  • Publication number: 20170278321
    Abstract: A reporting device that is connected to at least one vehicle, which is controlled based on a result of recognition by an outside recognizer, via a network provides the vehicle with information on a possibility of a failure in outside recognition on the basis of a condition under which a failure in outside recognition has occurred previously. Preliminarily, if a failure such as non-detection or erroneous detection occurs due to an outside recognizer of a connected car, the abnormality is stored while being linked with an external traveling environment such as the position of the vehicle or a weather.

  • Publication number: 20170270798
    Abstract: An auto driving control system includes: a situation determining unit which recognizes a situation around the vehicle and determines whether automatic traveling is possible; a drive control unit which performs traveling control when the automatic traveling is possible; a state determining unit which determines whether an occupant is able to drive; and an estimation drive control unit configured such that when the automatic traveling is difficult and it is difficult for the occupant to take over the driving, and when it is determined that execution of a function of the automatic traveling is difficult due to a first sensor, the estimation drive control unit executes the function by using information of a second sensor, and performs traveling control of the vehicle, wherein the automatic traveling is continued based on a control instruction of the estimation drive control unit until the occupant becomes able to take over the driving.
