  • Patent number: 11932251
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a recognizer configured to recognize an object around a host vehicle, a driving controller configured to control a speed and steering of the host vehicle and cause the host vehicle to overtake a moving body recognized as the object by the recognizer in a predetermined case, the moving body being a moving body present at a side of a road on which the host vehicle is present, and a predictor configured to predict that the host vehicle will be overtaken by the overtaken moving body at a future point in time when the moving body has been recognized by the recognizer, and the driving controller is configured to not cause the host vehicle to overtake the moving body when the predictor predicts that the host vehicle will be overtaken by the overtaken moving body at a future point in time.

  • Patent number: 11919567
    Abstract: An automatic steering control apparatus includes a lane line detector, a shape data detector, a traveling processor, and a steering angle processor. The lane line detector is configured to detect right and left lane lines. The shape data detector is configured to detect shape data. The traveling processor is configured to, in a case where both the lane lines are detected, execute a first lane-line control that is an automatic steering control to be executed on the basis of both the lane lines, and configured to, in a case where only one of the lane lines is detected as a detected lane line, execute a determining process that compares data on the detected lane line and the shape data and that determines whether to execute a second lane-line control that is the automatic steering control to be executed on the basis of only the one of the lane lines.

  • Patent number: 11891093
    Abstract: A control device that comprises a processor that executes instructions to cause a mobile object to travel autonomously is provided. The processor controls the mobile object based on a conditions-varying travel path so that an automated control of the mobile object does not change even if travel conditions of the conditions-varying travel path vary. The processor also executes instructions to determine a route to a destination. The processor determines the route using automated-driving map information that comprises a travel path other than the conditions-varying travel path when the mobile object travels by automated driving. The processor also determines the route using manual-driving map information that comprises the conditions-varying travel path when the mobile object travels by manual driving.
