Patent number: 11560157Abstract: A driving control device receives power supply from an accessory battery to operate, controls automatic driving, and outputs a control signal. A steering ECU, a power ECU and a brake ECU instruct a steering mechanism, a PCU and a brake to operate based on the control signal, respectively. An emergency stop switch is operated by an operator. In a case where the emergency stop switch is operated, an interface processing device cuts off a switch to stop the power supply, shuts down the driving control device, and outputs a control signal that causes the steering mechanism, the PCU and the brake to perform an emergency stop operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hirohito Ide, Yuchi Yamanouchi, Masaki Shitara, Ryo Hattori, Satoshi Koganemaru, Takeshi Uraki, Shogo Nakata, Yasunori Imada
