  • Publication number: 20180186403
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) steering control system determines how much and when to apply a steering control to maneuver obstacles of a planned route. The steering control system calculates a first steering angle based on a target directional angle and an actual directional angle of the ADV, a second steering angle based on a target lateral position and an actual lateral position of the ADV to maneuver a planned route, an object, or an obstacle course. The steering control system determines a target steering angle based on the first steering angle and the second steering angles and utilizes the target steering angle to control a subsequent steering angle of the ADV.

  • Publication number: 20180018875
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses embodiments of methods and apparatuses for indicating a vehicle moving state. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving a vehicle driving instruction; detecting a driving environment outside the vehicle; determining a driving strategy for executing the vehicle driving instruction in the driving environment; determining a driving track instructed by the driving strategy; and projecting the driving track on a road when the driving environment satisfies a preset condition. This implementation can clearly indicate the position that a vehicle is about to occupy, thereby improving the effect of interaction between the vehicle and other vehicles or pedestrians.

  • Publication number: 20170344005
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include a driverless vehicle control method, apparatus and system. In some embodiments, method comprises: receiving a vehicle control message of a driverless vehicle, the vehicle control message used to represent vehicle control characteristics of the driverless vehicle; converting the vehicle control message to a vehicle control protocol message, the vehicle control protocol message used to implement a general instruction description for the vehicle control message; generating a vehicle control command based on the vehicle control protocol message; and converting the vehicle control command to a vehicle control instruction corresponding to the vehicle control message, and sending the vehicle control instruction to the driverless vehicle. In this way, the vehicle control message can be described by using a general message instruction, achieving the objective of controlling the driverless vehicle by using a general message instruction.
