  • Publication number: 20240149894
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: a recognition unit configured to recognize a surrounding condition of a vehicle; a driving control unit configured to control acceleration, deceleration, and steering of the vehicle based on a recognition result; and a vehicle abnormality detection unit configured to detect an abnormality in an electric parking brake device. When an abnormality in the driver is detected during traveling of the vehicle, the driving control unit performs control to decelerate the vehicle to a predetermined speed greater than zero by braking by a brake device. In a case where an abnormality in the electric parking brake device is detected before or at a time the vehicle is decelerated to the predetermined speed, the driving control unit causes the vehicle to perform traveling along a traveling road until the recognition unit recognizes a preceding vehicle after the vehicle is decelerated to the predetermined speed.

  • Publication number: 20240140471
    Abstract: The vehicle includes a direction indicator, an operation unit configured to receive an operation for changing a state of the direction indicator, a setting unit configured to set a feedback mode of the operation unit provided to a driver of the vehicle, and a detection unit configured to detect an obstacle included in a specific range around the vehicle. The setting unit is configured to set the feedback mode of the operation unit to a first feedback mode in a case where the obstacle is detected in the specific range, and set the feedback mode of the operation unit to a second feedback mode different from the first feedback mode in a case where the obstacle is not detected in the specific range.

  • Publication number: 20230145724
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes: a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding situation of a host vehicle; an input unit configured to receive an input operation from an occupant of the host vehicle; a controller configured to perform automatic stop control of decelerating and stopping the host vehicle when the input operation is received by the input unit; and a setter configured to perform a setting process of setting a first time after the input operation has been received by the input unit and until the automatic stop control is started by the controller. The setter is configured to change the first time based on a result of recognition of a following vehicle of the host vehicle from the recognizer in the setting process.

  • Publication number: 20220297599
    Abstract: A driving support device includes: a situation information acquiring unit configured to acquire situation information of a vehicle; a posture detecting unit configured to detect a posture of a driver of the vehicle; and an alarm processing unit configured to perform an alarm process of outputting information from an alarm device. The alarm processing unit is configured to perform the alarm process when the detected posture matches one posture of a first posture group and to withhold execution of the alarm process on the basis of an occurrence frequency of a predetermined event indicating that the alarm process is not valid when a situation indicated by the situation information matches a specific situation and the detected posture matches one posture of a second posture group included in the first posture group.

  • Publication number: 20220297712
    Abstract: A driving assistance device includes an unable-to-drive state detection unit configured to detect that a driver is in an unable-to-drive state, the unable-to-drive state detection unit being provided in a vehicle, and a stop control unit configured to execute an automatic stop control causing the vehicle to decelerate and stop based on whether the unable-to-drive state is detected by the unable-to-drive state detection unit, wherein the vehicle is provided with an operator configured to operate the vehicle, includes an operation state detection unit configured to detect an operation state of the operator, and cancels the execution of the automatic stop control in a case where the operation state detection unit detects that the operation state of the operator has changed multiple times during transition to the automatic stop control or during the automatic stop control.
