  • Publication number: 20240190479
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling autonomous driving and a method for the same are provided. The apparatus includes a sensor device provided in a vehicle to acquire information on a collision risk during autonomous driving of the vehicle, a user input sensing device to sense a control input, which is input from a user of the vehicle, for switching an autonomous driving mode, and a processor to determine a collision risk, based on the information acquired through the sensor device, to determine whether to switch the autonomous driving mode, based on the control input of the user, when the collision risk is determined as being present, and to control autonomous driving of the vehicle, based on a determination result of whether to switch the autonomous driving mode.

  • Publication number: 20240017750
    Abstract: An autonomous driving control apparatus for transitioning control authority of an autonomous vehicle and a method thereof may include a processor provided in the autonomous vehicle configured to determine whether a predetermined condition required to transition to a manual driving mode while the autonomous vehicle may be traveling in an autonomous driving mode is met, determine a speed limit of the autonomous vehicle, and/or output a transition demand (TD) to a driver of the autonomous vehicle, and control autonomous driving such that a speed of the autonomous vehicle may not be greater than the speed limit while the TD is output. The autonomous driving control apparatus may be configured to include a time taken to transition control authority to the driver, thus improving safety.

  • Publication number: 20230382434
    Abstract: A vehicle driving control apparatus includes an input device that receives an input by a driver and a controller that performs control to perform autonomous driving for a predetermined time when there is a second input by the driver to perform the autonomous driving after it is determined that an accelerator pedal or a brake pedal has been pressed based on a first input by the driver. The controller may determine whether to maintain the autonomous driving according to whether there is a third input by the driver within the predetermined time.

  • Publication number: 20230278588
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for controlling an autonomous vehicle for a minimum risk maneuver (MRM) of the autonomous vehicle are provided. A processor provided in the autonomous vehicle performs an MRM including deceleration control and stop control of the autonomous vehicle, determines whether the MRM is completed, determines whether manipulation of a user for vehicle control is not input during a specific time, based on determination that the MRM is completed, and requests a call connection from an external institution, by means of a call controller provided in the autonomous vehicle to control a call with the external institution, when the MRM is completed and when the manipulation of the user for the vehicle control is not input during the specific time. The apparatus improves safety and convenience of an autonomous driving system.
