  • Patent number: 11097725
    Abstract: A vehicle control device causes a vehicle to autonomously travel, and, if at least one of one or more predetermined conditions is met, then requests the driver to perform manual driving. The vehicle control device is provided with a condition determination unit and a deceleration selection unit. The condition determination unit determines whether or not said one or more predetermined conditions are met. The deceleration selection unit then selects whether or not to decelerate the vehicle when requesting the driver to perform said manual driving, on the basis of met predetermined conditions (if any).

  • Patent number: 10994750
    Abstract: A vehicle control device is provided with a timing selection unit configured to select, during automated driving, either one of a first notification timing at which notification of a driving takeover request is issued in the case that a remaining distance to a scheduled switching point from the automated driving to manual driving has become less than or equal to a predetermined distance, and a second notification timing at which notification of the driving takeover request is issued in the case that a remaining time period until reaching the scheduled switching point is less than or equal to a predetermined time period, wherein the timing selection unit selects the first notification timing or the second notification timing based on a present travel speed or a scheduled travel speed.

  • Patent number: 10640128
    Abstract: A vehicle control device including: a recognizer (13) that recognizes a surrounding situation of a subject vehicle; a driving controller (140 or 160) that executes driving control of controlling one or both of steering and acceleration/deceleration of the subject vehicle on the basis of the surrounding situation recognized by the recognizer; and a notifier (30 or 180) that notifies a vehicle occupant of the subject vehicle of predetermined information, wherein the driving controller sets a degree of margin for a surrounding environment set in the driving control after start of the notification of the predetermined information using the notifier to be higher than that before start of the notification of the predetermined information.

  • Publication number: 20190283772
    Abstract: A driving support system for a vehicle, the system comprises: a detection unit adapted to detect that an operation subject of acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle changes to a driver; and a correction unit adapted to correct a control amount in a decrease direction if the control amount is larger than a predetermined threshold when the driver's acceleration/deceleration operation of the vehicle is accepted in a predetermined range after detection by the detection unit, the control amount being based on the acceleration/deceleration operation.

  • Publication number: 20190286127
    Abstract: According to the present invention, a vehicle control device that carries out driving support or automated driving of a self-vehicle is provided. The vehicle control device comprises a steering controller that performs steering control on a manual operation by a driver or an automated operation. The steering controller accepts steering input by a manual operation by the driver in addition to a system steering amount by the vehicle control device while steering control by the vehicle control device is performed, returns a predetermined reaction force to the manual operation upon accepting the steering input, and makes the reaction force to the manual operation larger in a case where traveling is performed in a second state where steering wheel grasping is unrequired, as compared with a case where traveling is performed in a first state where steering wheel grasping is required.

  • Publication number: 20180074492
    Abstract: An automatic driving control unit initiates automatic driving under a condition in which, after a manual driving recognition unit has recognized execution of manual driving, and a right/left turn recognition unit has recognized completion of a right or left turn of the vehicle, a state of being capable of generating a target travel trajectory by a trajectory generating unit is brought about, and in addition, the manual driving recognition unit no longer recognizes execution of manual driving.
