Patent number: 11970159Abstract: Provided is a vehicle control system for avoiding a collection between a right-turning vehicle and a straight-through vehicle without decreasing comfort for an occupant. In the system, a first vehicle V1 and a second vehicle V2 retain high-precision map data for identifying a traveling lane. When the first vehicle V1 traveling in an autonomous driving mode intends to turn right from a right turn lane at an intersection ahead based on the high-precision map data, the first vehicle V1 transmits a right turn notification indicating the intention to turn right to nearby vehicles using vehicle-to-vehicle communications. When the second vehicle V2 traveling in an autonomous driving mode intends to travel straight at an intersection ahead, the second vehicle V2 recognizes a right-turning vehicle in an oncoming lane at the intersection upon receiving the right turn notification from the right-turning vehicle, and performs a predetermined control for collision avoidance.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Hidetoshi Chikamori, Kazumasa Nakamura, Hitoshi Konishi, Takuji Harayama, Tomoaki Masakawa, Naofumi Aso, Ryo Matsuzawa, Zhaoqi Wang
