Patent number: 10558213Abstract: A control system for an autonomous driving vehicle comprises an operation device configured to be operated by a driver; a notification device configured to give notification to the driver; and an electronic control unit. Autonomous driving is performed. When the driver operates the operation device during autonomous driving, autonomous driving is terminated and vehicle driving is switched to manual driving. Further, when the driver should be requested to terminate autonomous driving during autonomous driving, the notification device is controlled to first notify a request for preparing for manual driving to the driver and then notify a request for terminating autonomous driving to the driver.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2017Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Jun Sato, Yuma Kawamori, Keiko Tosaki

Patent number: 10509400Abstract: A control system for an autonomous driving vehicle is provided with a notification device 10 for giving notification to a driver and an electronic control unit 20. Autonomous driving is performed and an autonomous driving reliability value expressing a degree of reliability of autonomous driving is calculated during autonomous driving. If the autonomous driving reliability value is equal to or smaller than a predetermined preparation request value, the notification device is controlled to notify a request for preparing for manual driving to the driver.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2017Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Jun Sato, Yuma Kawamori, Keiko Tosaki
