Patent number: 11097725Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2016Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventor: Takemi Tsukada

Publication number: 20190286127Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2019Publication date: September 19, 2019Inventors: Takashi WATANABE, Kentaro ISHISAKA, Takafumi HIROSE, Takemi TSUKADA, Katsuya YASHIRO, Toru KOKAKI, Hisashi MATSUDA, Masaya IKEDA
